I might give that a gander on the desktop machine.

Looks great but will run slow if you don't have direct rendering enabled (it uses opengl)
It's really nice, even though it's the 'beta version' it has a great interface and some nice features. Thanks for sharing Google!

Now we can see where everyone lives, I'm just down from that big tree on the right.
Go to View, enable Lat/Longitude, I'm at N 33 degress 28' (minutes) 15" (seconds) latitude and W 82 degress 01' (minutes) 27" (seconds) longitude. I'll stand outside and wave. (2520 Central Ave, Augusta, GA will get you there faster).
Or 1120 15th Street, Augusta, GA is where I work. I'm in that building with the white top.
Wow, I just looked up Solothurn, Switzerland, I was expecting a few little chalets, it is quite a town. Looked deserted, they must have been watching all those yellow cards the Swiss got when they tied against France (0-0) today.
Try this, type in "colorado river view", when you get to the yellow marker, double click it, and you can "fly" around in the Grand Canyon.

Yes, sir. 25'000 inhabitans, so it's about the same as a medium-sized US town.

At least we tied and didn't loose against some country from "New Europe".
(well, you guys are in a difficult group, I'm afraid you won't make it past the first round this time)

Hmm, this app is really nice. You can find Parcival at N 47° 17' 18.14" and E 7° 30' 56.49" (Google doesn't know my address). It's an impressive flight from hard candy's place to mine - if you wanna come over, juste give me a call before you leave, beer is in the fridge.

So do you live on top of the ridge or in the valley?
I'm wondering if anyone knows the coordinates of one of those nude beaches.
I didn't see amyone on Mt. Everest, let's try the Matterhorn.

Neither one. Downtown Solothurn (where the river passes through) is the valley and the Weissenstein the ridge, my village is placed on the southern slope of the Weissenstein.

If you wanna see the Japanese, you may as well zoom in directly on Tokyo.
