gato Posted July 18, 2005 at 10:14 PM Report Posted July 18, 2005 at 10:14 PM Satellite images of China from google maps. You can type in a different city name in the search box. The plus and the minus let you adjust the zoom level. Here are the Forbidden Palace and Tiananmen Square. Only the city center area has the most detailed images. http://maps.google.com/maps?q=beijing&ll=39.912969,116.393135&spn=0.020385,0.030088&t=k&hl=en Quote

geraldc Posted July 19, 2005 at 09:41 AM Report Posted July 19, 2005 at 09:41 AM It's worth downloading Google Earth, using it I can actually pinpoint my own building in London and the building my gran lives in in HK etc http://earth.google.com/ Quote
芳芳 Posted July 19, 2005 at 02:56 PM Report Posted July 19, 2005 at 02:56 PM This is great! I could find the building I'm presently working in in Montreal, and I found my parent's house somewhere in France.... And this is a good way to check your geographics skills. Quote
