Earth Wallpapers

>> Earth Wallpapers
Longstanding listeners will know that I’m a great fan of Google Maps which is not only the easiest-to-use of all the map and route-planning sites, but also lets you switch between a regular map view and a satellite view of the same area. Earth Wallpapers is a collection of stunning satellite images of different global locations all culled from the satellite views on Google Maps. You can download any o the images to use as a background image on your computer desktop.

I expect you are familiar with the icons on paper maps and wonder why you don't find them on the online versions, well take a look at www.holidaylocal.com it lets you add icons on the map for free. You can search for a holiday location anywhere in the world and it displays nearby places to visit, eat and stay.
