Playing with Google Earth
I’ve only just started to dive into the functionality of Google Earth. Using the overlay app, I was able to place a Wikipedia map of the battle of El-Alamein on top of the according spot.
Add some transparency, and you now know exactly where units and minefields were positioned, where action took place. Amazing indeed, this adds an entirely new dimension to internet usage.

Welcome
Welcome to Irakli West's personal pages on the Web. I am Danish, live close to Munich in Germany, and run FWnetz, an online magazine and training resource for firefighters.
