Maps and Geotagging

I definately found what I was looking for and more. After struggling a little, once again, with installing the program (Thanks Walter for your help), I entered my parent's address. Apparently I entered it in the wrong search field and it got me to Google Maps. That was o.k. because I quickly found out that, besides a map and directions to their house, I could also get a 360 degree image of their house and the surrounding streets. I could navigate up and down the street as if I were walking back and forth. It was cool and kind of creepy at the same time. It felt like my family's privacy was being violated and I am sure, as more people find out about this, there will be a backlash. Anyway, I got back to Google Earth and put in the same address. I got a pretty good arial view of their house but there were trees blocking most of it. I think this would be a great tool for finding a place you have not been to before or are about to visit and explore, in detail, what is there. I guess just getting directions to a place is not enough anymore in this high tech world.
