OOoooh, forgot about using google earth attachements! Here's mine. You'll need Google Earth to view it though.

Yeah, it's nice to zoom in from space (or from someone else's house on another continent) and see where exactly the person is in their country.
Also, if you have the BBS markers switched on you can learn all about nearby places of interest. There are some beach-cams set up near my house, if you go in via google Earth.
Bearclaw - you ever notice that your town is shaped a lot like a map of the US and Central America? (View from about 14miles up) Why isn't Canada on there? |

You really should provide a link to google maps for those who don't have the extra software.

You mean google earth? It's earth.google.com - if you don't already have it, download it now- it's incredible. |

Somehow, the fact that you are the only person with such a lush, green lawn in the area doesn't surprise me.  |

Yes, but it has been rerouted or altered course or some such since the town of Riverside was first established. It was not much of a river.

No.
I mean provide a nice link that is clickable from anywhere just like everybody else in the thread is doing.
(Besides, they don't let us download programs from the CSM fire control room.)

Yeah, that sums it up nicely. I'm not putting my home address into your CSM targetting computer... |

Don't need or want a home address, just the town would do nicely.
