Following up on my exploration of OpenLaszlo and Google’s maps beta (see my previous entry), the picture you see here is a satellite view of Mäntyharju, the village I live in.

Google’s map search had never heard of Mäntyharju. No problem though, I "browsed" there through the global satellite picture interface. Starting from the default map of the United States, scrolling all the way East over the Atlantic, and up north into Finland. When I zoomed in close enough, I could just follow the motor way from Helsinki.

If you click on the image, you will get to the latest satellite picture of this location on Google.
