Google Maps

I just downloaded a program called google earth. It lets you use satellite imagery to see any place on earth. You can then highlight points of interest, be they golf courses, malls, etc. Of course it is free. A decent broadband connection and relatively new computer is recommended. Sorry no Macs. Here is the link to the site. Below is a shot of Lower Manhattan. Note the WTC site at the top.



The site is more robust than this. It is streaming so you can zoom in and out and move in any direction. Also the resolution isn't done justice by this small screenshot. So much for privacy, but definitely download it.
