A friend told me about Google Earth, so I downloaded it. I just started to use it. The views are amazing. You get satellite images of the entire earth, and you can zoom right in on any location. It was easy to find my own house. I suspect some images are more clear than others, depending on the age of the image and the state of the technology when it was shot. It could be a good tool for trip planning. Just thought I'd throw it out there. Just Google for Google Earth. I have a slow DSL connection and it works ok but I think a modem might be unbearably slow.
