Gallipoli and other sites from outer space

[Devils Own]

Has everybody had a go on the website www.googleearth.com. The software is free to download and you can zoom in to ANYWHERE in the world. Its amazing. I have just had a go at Gallipoli. Its great for looking at the terrain and clearly shows why an attack at Bulair might have been preferable.

Check it out.

Cheers

google earth allowed me to have a good look at Heath and Reach, but unfortunately some other countries were not very clear in some of the areas I was looking for.

But probably will be in time.

i hae had a go on googleearth beffore, i think google earth can be a powerful tool for geographic analysis of many battle fields, but it has to be developed more

True, it is not well developed for very close (down to 500ft) analysis of some areas (particulalry rural ones) but I am sure it will get better. And for a demonstartion of the terrain at Gallipoli it is quite interesting. It seems to pick out towns better, London is quite fascinating, but greenaery blurs a bit. maybe on the pay per view version it is better. I was hoping to observe Somme craters etc.

Why would someone who lives in the wide open spaces of Victoria want to look at Heath & Reach???? I'm intrigued!
