- Zalian, on 11/30/2008, -2/+4Finally some cool 3d tools.
- InfamousAtheist, on 12/01/2008, -1/+15Handy in case you lost everything in the stock market or the bank is about to foreclose on your home and you cannot afford to make the trip in RL.
- Stradenko, on 12/01/2008, -1/+4Still just as handy for the folks who *must* make the trip in real life because the family's going to be living with grandma for awhile...
- breadfred, on 12/01/2008, -2/+9I like the description. 'super-cool 3D-flyovers of your whole...'
It inspires the mind.- oda1, on 12/01/2008, -0/+4ew.

- indochris609, on 12/01/2008, -1/+24Why is this on the Front Page?
- JohnnyDIGGme, on 12/01/2008, -0/+4I dunno. Why do they have to explain what Google Earth is good for?
- pfhayter, on 12/01/2008, -1/+3Maybe I'm missing the point here but couldn't you just do this in Google Earth itself without adding any 3rd part site or ever maps.google?
- twid, on 12/01/2008, -0/+2Google Earth can only do a single point to a single point, with that Nearby site you can do multipoint maps straight out of maps.google.
- pfhayter, on 12/02/2008, -0/+2Ok, I kind of get it now. Still you could do directions and copy to the places and then nest them.
Just Sayin. - twid, on 12/02/2008, -0/+2Oh I agree, and as the author of the story, I have no idea why it made the front page. Slow news day, I guess. :)

- kiwi2008, on 12/01/2008, -5/+1Maybe if Little Red Riding Hood had Google Earth she'd have spotted that ***** wolf.
although maybe she'd have seen how far it was to Grandma's house and said 'ahhh ***** it - I've got my xbox' - fuxxx, on 12/01/2008, -1/+10I dont get it.
- TVarmy, on 12/01/2008, -0/+6Anyone who's played with Google Earth at any point will have probably done this already. Is there something new in the latest version, ie Street View? What would be cool is if they started doing this on the Maps.Google.Com website in JavaScript (Flash would be cheating).
- IWDA4, on 12/01/2008, -4/+2boooo!
- mrmayor92, on 12/01/2008, -1/+4id rather not think about my 3 hour trip to my grandmas house

- mydingaling, on 12/01/2008, -4/+4Fat lot of use this is, both my Grandmas are dead.
- benologist, on 12/01/2008, -3/+2Now you can experience the trip before the trip!! This is your chance to "yo dawg i herd you like..."
- blacktriangle, on 12/01/2008, -3/+2GooPs as the Google Earth nav tool?
- orlyfactor, on 12/01/2008, -3/+3Visualizing the trip to grandma's house...if I'm a terrorist!
