Google Earth

If you haven't tried using Google Earth then try it now! It's cool. Having done Geography at uni, this is an especially fun resource! I looked for my parents' house and found it. I found it started to get a bit pixelated when I tried to zoom in on the roof and street level. But still v.cool nonetheless.
