Hi there!
I think it would be fun if people posted the lattitude and longitude of significant places in their lives and then told a little bit about why its significant - e.g. it could be where they work, where they go on holidays, their church, but probably not their home though.
Interested people could then download googleearth from Google Earth - Home, enter the co-ordinates and see what they were referring to. A broadband connection will assist greatly.
For example, I work at 33°51'47.51"S 151°12'29.24"E
Every lunchtime I like to go for a walk around the harbor and in the ajoining gardens, so that I can keep a little bit of fitness, since I work in an office. To fly there, select the "fly to" tab and copy the above co-ordinates into the box.
The best way to get the lat and long of your location is to add a placemark to the spot, left click on the pin, tick advanced, select the location tab and copy the lat and long from that window.
Maybe this will only appeal to geography buffs, but lets give it a try and see.
Looking forward to seeing a favorite place of yours!
