Virtual Highway

Uploaded with plasq’s Skitch!

Paul Wilkinson just posted this rather excellent find- Virtual Highway- which is a wonderful Google mash-up of a Google map of New Zealand and video of what the drive actually looks like. As the video plays a little car moves along the highway keeping in synch with the video. Here is a screen grab of part of my commute. Way cool.

Riminiscences of David Kinane’s Amazing Journey.

Thanks Paul- hours of fun here!

    Allanah, This looks like it is a great tool. I am currently exploring making virtual amazing journeys in Google Earth. Still waiting for your amazing journey with baited breath! See you at Ulearn?

    Allanah,

    It occurs to me that when Google Streets is amalamated with the tour option of Google Earth then we will truly be able to create virtual amazing journeys.
