...on Google Maps???

My last search was Monte Carlo, Monaco. Check out some of those great yachts in the marina!

What was your last Google Map search?

Now I'm in Ashgabat, "marveling" at the constructions of Turkmenbashi. I recommend it to anyone, and do turn on "Panoramio" thingee to get pictures of the places.

Google Maps added the capability to view street-level photos for 10 million properties in Australia today - that's why I was looking at it originally (and probably also why it was so slow this morning). Apparently we're the third country they've decided to do, along with 50 US cities or something from what I was reading? http://www.news.com.au/heraldsun/story/0,21985,24131264-662,00.html

Currently looking up the Big Submarine in Holbrook, New South Wales. It's this huge submarine that they stuck in the middle of Australia when the navy decommissioned it. It must be a good couple of hundred kilometers from the coast

What was your last Google Map search?

     My last Google Maps search was of San Francisco City Hall. Tongue I usually don't search areas that I'm not familiar with.

Looking at your town and house are the worse things to do on Google Earth.

Chiswick, UK. I'm not Doctor Who obsessed but I was playing with my phone while waiting to be able to restart the series finale.

     Me too. I was flying fine for a while, but then I lost control & just flew loop-de-loops before crashing into Golden Gate Park.
