All good thoughts on the accuracy of Google Earth vs. our GPSr's, but rather than a debate on the use of your PC to trumble through the bush (inconvienient and appearently not so accurate), can anyone think of some interesting applications for looking down from above? Just a interesting look? Is there a possible tie-in between the two? Use of Google Earth for a Multi-cache challenge? A good way to avoid taking the wrong path on the onset to a cache site (i.e. the long way around)? Thanks for the feedback so far.

Anyone tie-in Google Earth with Geocaching? Their coordinates are nearly right on! You can get a top down view of nearly any cache possible. I wonder if any clever games, challenges, applications or ideas can be dreamed up by tying the two together. Anyone have any cool ideas?

Eagle and OA in the end. Gave back later as son's began coming up through to Webelos by being committee member, Assist Den Leader then Cub Scout Pack Leader. Not sure if Scouting was instrumental, maybe more of a techo-geek, love of nature, and camping mix, but I just can't get enough of this. Just took a travel bug to the carribean on vacation with us, photos and all, just because it's goal was to "get to the beach". Simple, fun, getting out there and enjoying life. Why not Geocache? I feel sorry for all the muggles who just don't get it.
