I'm off to do Skye bridge to Durness

from my desk.

Yep, not really realistic in terms of speed etc (travels about 500mph and doesn't slow down for 90 degree bends), but it is good to see what twists, turns and elevations your route is going to take, better than you can see it on a 2D map.

Guess that the google earth plug in is already installed at work.

Was just going to say next to the driving directions heading on the left panel, where the driving directions are!!!!

Not sure if I have that wee button at home? will have to go see and if not look for google earth plug in?

(Got home - had to install google earth plug-in!, works now)
