Neat way to waste some time with Google Maps
Here is an interesting take on the idea behind sites like Google Earthing. This one is called PlaceSpotting. It shows you a zoomed in map via Google Maps and you have to figure out where it is. A few cool things they've done, though:
You solve it by adjusting a world map (zooming, panning, etc) until it matches the clue, not just leaving a comment with your answer
You're given up to four clues for each one.
You're told the zoom level you need to be at. To solve it, you only need to get the lat/lon "close".
Best of all, you can create your own!
I know there are a lot of different games out there for the various digital earth products, but I couldn't begin to summarize them all. Instead, leave us a comment to show off some your favorites!
