Ok, who's seen Google Earth? if you haven't, go to http://earth.google.com this software is out of this world! or actually, a more appropriate statement would be that it IS this world. It uses an online stream of satelite map data converted into 3D and arial photos combined to create a model of earth, where you can go from viewing the planet at somewhere around 40,000 miles above the surface, to viewing your continent, then country, then city, then neighborhood, and then you can zoom in to see your house and car parked in front of it! with this program, you can go to virtually any place on this planet. it is a must see!

HA! Using google earth, I found a company called "Spoilt Brats" on a "Bank Street" in a town called Castleford in Leeds. unfortuately, I couldn't zoom all the way in to Leeds - I think there is a reason for that.

It doesn't work very good if you live in the country. When I downloaded keyhole a few months ago, I didn't see my house, I saw a bunch of trees. Same thing trying to view some relatives houses. Works great in the city/suburban area though.

Of course, selling game items for cash is a violation of the license agreement for most games like that.
