DAE just "drive" around Streeview on Google Maps for a few hours?

It's addicting! I don't like doing it around large cities like Jerusalem or Paris or Kiev, but rather teeny tiny places on back-roads I'd likely never find myself on physically. I like to figure out what the equivalent to Akron, OH is in Germany. Or what Japanese graffiti looks like in crap neighborhoods. Or how the hell so many Western films look so damn good filmed in Italy or Poland.

It isn't traveling, but it's something, I suppose.

Compton. Imagine what you think will be there first, then look at the corner of W Compton Boulevard and S Central Avenue.

"I got this young nineteen year old country girl named Sheronda. I found her on a bus stop two days outta Georgia, barefoot, country as a chicken coop. I took her to my place in Compton; told her it was Hollywood."
-"She believed you?"
"Hell yeah! To her dumb country ass, Compton is Hollywood; closest she's ever been anyway."

I fly around Google Earth using my Space Navigator, it is great, makes moving in any direction very fluid etc.

There's a game like this online called Mapcrunch. You're dropped in a random location on Google Maps and stranded. The goal is to poke around until you make your way to the airport so you can get home.

Wow, isn't it odd that any of us could have zoomed past someone's house?
