[OT] Google Earth

[Paul King]

Hello

I have been wondering what other people think of Google's recent desktop 
application, called "Google Earth" (only runs on Macs and Windoze). The free 
service is like Google Maps, except that it is more interactive, and it allows 
you to freely make contributions and comments on your favourite places, and share 
them with others in appropriate places on the map. 

I followed someone's "tour" of the baseball diamonds of the American and National 
Leagues done in the order of a "Travelling salesman" algorithm --- a kind of "all-
pairs-shortest-paths" problem.

I notice that this somewhat fails in that there are some places which have a 
duplication (or sometimes more than a duplication) of efforts.
