A great source to find news, new data, and interesting features to explore in Google Earth is the Google Earth blog. If you’re more interested in “odd” things found in GE, try map of strange (not affiliated with Google).

While I’m on the topic of odd, check out Strange Maps, a blog showcasing some unusual print maps, including “US States renamed for countries with similar GDPs“. Those who aren’t used to the ‘rustic’ nature of much of the Upper Peninsula might enjoy the “Map of the area surrounding our holiday home“.
