[Year 12 Its] Google Earth.

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:

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.
