Photo Location Scouting Tool? WARNING - Video Content

For those that believe that video on flickr is the beginning of the Apocalypse I must warn you to NOT click on this ... it is a video . Run away now while you still can.

For the other 99.9% of us, What do you think of the new Google Earth 4.3 as a location scouting tool?. If you are about to visit a major city in the near future you can go there virtually now and get a pretty good idea of how things look like from various vantage points.

In this clip I fly in to Union Square and land in front of the Westin St. Francis, then I buzz over to the baseball stadium and off to Pioneer Park and the Coit Tower.

    Soo Allen - I didn't click on it and it started moving. Does that mean I am now in the Apocalypse?!?!?!

    I think you are doomed, soon it will start raining frogs and a swarm of locust will visit you :)

    You know you can toggle that in your "Privacy and Permissions" under "Autoplay videos"

    Well - for being the same age, I just didn't get into the geek thing. I prefer Dial phones and pen and paper still.
    :-)

    I hear frogs croaking.....
