I thought you lived in Texas. And I was going to make a remark about Texas not having such high elevations. And yes I do realize Guadalupe peak is higher. But I didn't figure you lived up there.

ohh, btw I finally downloaded google earth. Now how do I use it to find the elevation? You didn't expect me to read the directions did you? Actually I would if I could find them.

Google is simply amazing. How can one company be so cool, while all the other ones suck. Though it is kind of freaky seeing my truck parked in the driveway.

But there's no ocean there. Otherwise, Colorado would be wonderful.

Gaze into KH's picture of Baltimore and meditate upon its wisdom. Ohmmm...









Look at the bottom line of it.

ocean sucks. It's all salt water, you can't drink it. It tastes like crap if you get it in your mouth by accident.

Is it not hot enough in Vegas for you, Dis?

[Dis]

not hot at all now. It's only been getting up to 105. The weather's been great with all the clouds and humidity to keep things cooler.

doesn't actually show the elevation at the bottom. It shows the eye alt but that is not the correct altitude.

Keep looking, you've almost got your answer...

I must be blind then. But I did get it to show the all important bars in my neighborhood. Though it is missing one that I know of. A new village pub opened up. They are a classier chain place. The only good thing is they serve Newcaslte Brown Ale on tap and they are within walking distance...

Your cursor has to be over the main map and you have to be at a low enough Eye Altitude to see what the elevation below the cursor is. That number is given to the right of the Lat/Lon coordinates. KH's picture shows the elevation at the red X to be 2m.
