Google Earth can't find everything... - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

THE Ka · 11-18-2005, 09:17 PM

Not so long ago, Google launched it's new search program called GoogleEarth. Many people caught up in the frenzy to find their favorite places, or more importantly, how to get to the 'there' they were ever going to go to.

My friend awhile ago downloaded GoogleEarth in a search for many things.

Most importantly, she looked for Middle Earth...

I can't believe it!

Has anyone had similar Arda experiences with GoogleEarth?

Cricket Hallow does not seem to exist, though I know for a fact that I live not far from a road of the very same name.

As for silliness, as silliness is always due, I found my Alma mater and left the words "Sammath Naur" in the search blank so that someone might find it. Alas that I am not in a house with others who know what Sammath Naur is, nor do they understand how to use GoogleEarth.
