The problem for me with Google Earth is, that the data is quite old, for instance for Bali all satellite data is from 2003 and older. The rest of Asia doesn't look any better, maybe except big cities like Singapore or Hong Kong. And the clouds ARE really annoying. So, it would be useful for me to learn to use the software better, like you said. Can you help with that? How do I get more current data in it and what would you recommend to add/change in the above article? This way all readers could benefit and we'd learn something along the way.... ;-) Greg, I’m sorry to have disappointed you.

As I long time GE user, and a keen traveller, I frequently check out where I have been, and where I plan (or dream about) going in GE, as well as following international news stories "on the ground" - so to speak. Have also started using <a href="http://www.panoramio.com/" rel="nofollow">Panoramio</a> website to geolocate some of my travel pics in GE, which is fun and interesting - well worth a look.

However, I must pick you up on one point; i.e. snow capped peaks do in fact exist on and near the equator. Some examples - Mt Kenya, Mt Kilimanjaro, Mt Stanley (all in Africa), and in the Equadorian Andes (South America). Cheers, Peter B. Excellent work – highly commendable.
