    it's a good beginning i think. Although looks kinda gray and boring at the moment. maybe in the future we will have highly detailed virtual model of Earth. Would be cool to look at your own house sitting inside it :P
    If you won't get yur ass outta here immediatly, I'll make the hole in it bigger than the Grand Canyon!

        You're so impatient. Just zoom in, and wait. The imagery will pop up and sharpen as more data is downloaded. It is indeed a virtual model of the earth. I just went scrolling through the mountains of China. I also found the apartment building I'm in. Looked through Chicago, New York, and Dallas, Texas.

              This thing is pretty cool actually.

              Anyone know why if I search for "60°10'27.67"N, 24°43'54.33"E" it goes 10 kilometers more west than if I do "60.102767, 24.435433"??

                  The 10'27.67" and 43'54.33" are not in decimal values. They are in minutes and seconds, which sort of means they are base 60. 24°43 is not actually 24.43° but rather 24° plus (43/60)°, or 24.7167°. If you want to include the 54.33", then you'd have to divide that by 60 first to convert it to a decimal and then add it to 43. 54.33/60 = 0.9055, so 43.9055/60 = 0.7318. That means that the decimal value of 24°43'54.33"E is 24.7318. The 60.102767 should be off too, but only by about 0.072°.
