Where do you want to go today?

Can't decide where to go on your next trip? The world is full of so many options. Maybe a trip to the coast is in order. Perhaps finding a comfortable home high in the desert somewhere would be ideal. The JimH Blog is here to help.

The map below generates a random location somewhere on Earth. Since the planet you live on is mostly water there's a good chance you're stuck in the middle of an ocean. If that's the case, just drag the map around with your mouse to find some place more interesting, or hit the Random button and get a new location. You can also use your mouse wheel to zoom in and out or double-click to zoom in on a particular spot. Try the other buttons and you can navigate around from there too.

This map uses cool technology from MSN Virtual Earth.

This is very cool, but as always I am disconcerted by a planet with no apparent atmosphere. Also amazed to think of the effort it must take to sort through the images for a cloud-free shot of every square kilometer. Or do they digitally remove the clouds? A good game is to search for the odd puffy cumulus that got missed...
