A member asked a question about why he was unable to use his Macintosh to connect to Google's new earth satellite mapping service. Here's the answer and a few suggestions:
Google says: "At this time, Google Earth supports Windows only; however, we hope to support Mac and Linux OS soon. In the meantime, although it might be slower, some Mac users have had success running Google Earth with a PC emulator."
You can get a Mac-feeling of this kind of technology by visiting

Google does have a map site which allows you to see maps and satellite shots and zoom in. Try
http://maps.google.com/
www.macstac.org under links has these mapping sites:

http://maps.yahoo.com/

http://www.nationalgeographic.com/xpeditions/atlas/
http://www.terraserver.microsoft.com/
http://www.maptech.com/
http://www.mapmart.com
The terraserver site is especially neat because you can also search satellite shots by ZIP code and lat/long.
