Virtual Travel
I love Google Street Views. Sure, it's got shades of Big Brother, but it's not like they have live video feed from the street in front of your house. Yet.
I like to pick random towns and just parachute in to look around, maybe moving forward a few miles by clicking on the furthest shaded circle that appears when you mouse over the road. That new feature allows you to speed down a road faster than before.
Here are the four corners of the continental US, as far as Google has mapped them on Street Views. (Click for larger.)

Love the mattress shot. Hope it doesn't pop up if one is searching for cheap accommodation...

I don't think any of them is likely to be the next great tourist destination!

So Google proves that the "Southernmost Point" marker in EYW really is just a cheap tourist ploy that has no basis in reality http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southernmost_point_buoy
