One very clever addition to the map is the ability to access an aerial view of map you are 

interested in. It is pretty cool to get a map of your home area, then view a satellite image of it. Of 

course, there are people out there that will try just looking for interesting things. I heard that, if 

you know how to look, you can get an satellite image of Area 51 and some other recently 

declassified military sites, such as a nuclear bomb test crater.  

Of course, one of the most impressive maps is the one of our moon. They have listed the Apollo 

landing sites and you can move around an look at some impressive detail. For a real laugh, bring 

the zoom level of the map to maximum  I always knew this was true. Definitely visit

 and

That's all for this month. Hope you enjoy being a Mac owner as much as I do.
