It's great stuff. Check it out, if you haven't. Even the free version is extremely useful, not to mention entertaining. For PC and Mac (OS 10.4 and up, I think).

Google Earth
 
Yep,
I can see my parent's house and driveway on it. Can sort of see my street. Can definitely see my place of work..both of them, although the pics are old.
 
I finally can see what's behind my neighbor's hedge.

Funny, commercial aircraft may not fly directly over Groom Lake, because someone might glance down from 30,000 feet, but you can get a pretty detailed view on Google Earth.
 
Does anybody know an application other than Google Earth that can open a .kmz file? I'd like to save my waypoint data also in a text file.
 
Moribundman, I think kmz can be opened with WinZip to reveal the real Google Earth file. KmZ is a zipped file.
 
I tried that, thanks. I get a doc.kml file, but my text editing program shows it pretty much garbled. What Mac application can open a doc.kml file properly?
 
I think kml is a Google Earth file and cannot be opened with any other program. So there is no Google Earth for Mac?

Time to upgrade to a Windows machine

Didn't I clearly state I was using Google Earth?

I am using Google Earth with no issues at all. I just wanted to keep my waypoints in a text file. Copying and pasting hundreds of coordinates is just a little tedious.
