- indochris609, on 12/01/2008, -1/+24Why is this on the Front Page?
- InfamousAtheist, on 12/01/2008, -1/+15Handy in case you lost everything in the stock market or the bank is about to foreclose on your home and you cannot afford to make the trip in RL.
- fuxxx, on 12/01/2008, -1/+10I dont get it.
- breadfred, on 12/01/2008, -2/+9I like the description. 'super-cool 3D-flyovers of your whole...'
It inspires the mind. - TVarmy, on 12/01/2008, -0/+6Anyone who's played with Google Earth at any point will have probably done this already. Is there something new in the latest version, ie Street View? What would be cool is if they started doing this on the Maps.Google.Com website in JavaScript (Flash would be cheating).
- JohnnyDIGGme, on 12/01/2008, -0/+4I dunno. Why do they have to explain what Google Earth is good for?
- oda1, on 12/01/2008, -0/+4ew.
- chuffdogg, on 12/02/2008, -1/+4Beats the hell out of the old way of visualizing it http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C3mvQ8V6evY
- Stradenko, on 12/01/2008, -1/+4Still just as handy for the folks who *must* make the trip in real life because the family's going to be living with grandma for awhile...
- mrmayor92, on 12/01/2008, -1/+4id rather not think about my 3 hour trip to my grandmas house
- Zalian, on 11/30/2008, -2/+4Finally some cool 3d tools.
- pfhayter, on 12/01/2008, -1/+3Maybe I'm missing the point here but couldn't you just do this in Google Earth itself without adding any 3rd part site or ever maps.google?
- twid, on 12/02/2008, -0/+2Oh I agree, and as the author of the story, I have no idea why it made the front page. Slow news day, I guess. :)
- pfhayter, on 12/02/2008, -0/+2Ok, I kind of get it now. Still you could do directions and copy to the places and then nest them.
Just Sayin. - FredFredrickson, on 12/01/2008, -1/+3How does your grandma check for breast cancer?
GRAMMAMMAGRAM! - twid, on 12/01/2008, -0/+2Google Earth can only do a single point to a single point, with that Nearby site you can do multipoint maps straight out of maps.google.
- qq10433, on 12/02/2008, -0/+2Why is this on the Front Page?
- mydingaling, on 12/01/2008, -4/+4Fat lot of use this is, both my Grandmas are dead.
- orlyfactor, on 12/01/2008, -3/+3Visualizing the trip to grandma's house...if I'm a terrorist!
- benologist, on 12/01/2008, -3/+2Now you can experience the trip before the trip!! This is your chance to "yo dawg i herd you like..."
- blacktriangle, on 12/01/2008, -3/+2GooPs as the Google Earth nav tool?
- IWDA4, on 12/01/2008, -4/+2boooo!
- ptknight, on 12/01/2008, -4/+2iGo?
- inactive, on 12/01/2008, -10/+6OVER DA RIVER AND THROO THUH WOODES TO GRAMMAMMY'S HOUSE WE GOOOOO!
- kiwi2008, on 12/01/2008, -5/+1Maybe if Little Red Riding Hood had Google Earth she'd have spotted that ***** wolf.
although maybe she'd have seen how far it was to Grandma's house and said 'ahhh ***** it - I've got my xbox'
