Google Earth - don't we all love it?
You start with the view of the whole globe, then you zoom in, find your home, see your car parked in front of your house... find the address of a friend in another country, get directions from your home to that place and visit them unexpectedly...
HOW SWEET IS THAT?
If you don't have it yet, you can download Google Earth for free here: http://earth.google.com
You can also show us where you live!
Instead of posting .kmz files, do this:
1. find a place you want to share with us (your house for example)
2. click on "Add Placemark" and move it over your house
3. copy the Latitude and Longitude from the boxes and paste them here!
For example, here's the flat I live in (Ankaran, Slovenia):
45°34'51.23"N 13°44'20.34"E
(to show it in Google Earth, just copy/paste the above line in the Fly To box)
And here's where I always go for summer holidays (island Korcula, Croatia):
42°58'18.42"N 17° 1'5.60"E
We have apartments here, so if you're looking for a great summer holiday in the cleanest sea, come visit us!
And here is a beach where I like to go with my boat (I take pretty girls there by night, light a fire, play them romantic songs on my guitar, and then......
):
42°58'27.88"N 16°59'41.46"E
OK, now you go! Also tell us something about your country/hometown if you want!
