Google Earth

[Guest guest]

Dear Members,

 

You may find Google Earth very interesting for learning or teaching

purposes about longitude and latitude.

 

The satellite imagery is amazing. When you move your mouse around an

area, you can see the longtitude and lattitude info updated

immediately with the accuracy of up to 2 decimal places of an arc

second.

 

The free downloadable installation file is about 10 mb.

 

For more info, go to :
