thanks Con, very interesting product - I've seens raves about Google Map but
when I checked it out a while back I think it only covered the USA,
unfortunately

This product does cover Australia:

Note: Street address searches are limited to the US, UK and Canada only.

the forum contains an educational section but the answer to the following
question was a bit cryptic:
is google earth (the free version) legal to use in schools (k-12)??
Investigate our educational programs for what may be unexpected generosity.

It's not open source, but it's an awesome educational resource. ;-) 

Enjoy.
