    Google Earth

    This is pathetic.......

    sitting in my office in Perth, zooming over the Rimutakas, Kopu Hikuai, et al, on Google Earth, set to oblique, for a wee bit more realism
    AArrrrrrrgggghhhhhhhhh!


    Thank god for google Earth - it aint perfect, but it'll do....

    Trouble is - we actually want rain - driest winter since 1878 - we're buying water and the wheat crops are fucked! 4 degree frost at home this morning!

    Yeah, we could do with the rain alright, Jon. It was nice and warm in Cairns. Back to the cold!

    I've started bookmarking race tracks on google earth...if I could attach google earth files, I'd share them with you lot.


    Try changing these txt files to kmz files then open them in Google Earth:

    Download Google Earth from Google and you have aerial photos from all over the world...

    Locations are saved as .kmz files.

    Here's my list of MotoGP locations. Anyone got better ones?

    Or the NZ tracks?
