That is cool. It is just Google Earth but a little easier to find what your looking for.

Yeah, in GoogleEarth you can just type in the address of the park, or the name of the place, and it just zooms into the place. It's a huge file though so it takes a while to install and download. Some parks are really hard to find, while others, like CP is just a huge jut in the water. Some parks are also in the weird areas that arent completely detailed and just look like a giant blob of green mush.

You know, it would be nice if this topic hadn't been brought up like 80 times before...
But, when in Rome - Google Earth is definately a much better program. You can zoom in a lot more and it's easier to use.
