content: I just downloaded, installed and play around with Google Earth 5http://earth.google.com/. My fren recommended me last time but i never really have time for it. I can see some of the benefits/applications for it. For example:1) Finding shortest route to a safe place in case of any unlikely event occuring2) Find where the possibility of National Treasure3) Plan on where we want on vacation in the future4) Global mass destruction etc5) Finding where our frens areSo i'm thinking and wondering where are my EEVBlog frens are located and scattered around the world. Since i'm in the edge of jungle here, i would appreciate if the fellow frens here could locate themselves. My location is Latitude 4°26'38.56"N, Longitude 118°37'0.80"E. Thats the best i can get, if anybody can suggest better way of expressing the location, Thank you.FYI: I will add your location to my Google Earth so i can see how far and scattered we are.Thanx for your support. Cheersand hope nobody is going to drop a Nuke on me!edit: mine 4.444045°, 118.616889°

content: Thanx guys. Now i can see something. Using the ruler tool, DJPhil is about 1308 miles away from Time (in picture, i've added the text, coz Google earth didnt show it when we look from the moon), and migsantiago is not so far down below. An hour ago i'm checking among the famous countries in our local news such as Israel, Iran, Iraq. i can see roughly how they live there and the population managed. Now i can have the world at my fingertip!

content: Shafri, I'm glad to see you falling in love with google earth just as I have! It's great fun.I wanted to mentionCelestia. If you've ever been curious about astronomy it's like google universe! You can add map data for the local planets (they start out fairly simple for the sake of speed) and zoom around between stars.Google earth does something similar, but it's more simple, it just flips you over and points you outward. I think they might have a lunar explorer too, but it's nothing like Celestia.Hope you like it.
