You can do that too. I just so happened to be on their web page. I 
always liked Google Earth, I like finding those "out-of the way" towns 
in the mid west, USA. It's good for traveling as well. I have a 
navigation system in my car for that, though, but I can get somewhat of 
a good look at what it looks like before I get there.
