Melaka, Malaysia, uses Google Earth for tourists
Thursday 20 July 2006 by Edward.
AmazingMelaka.com displays common tourism attraction placemarks using Google Earth to further the tourists’ geographical understanding about Melaka, Malaysia, and to provide a virtual tour of this city. This complements the maps they already have. The Google Earth Melaka placemarks program is new, with coverage limited to major attractions. Details are to be added. Not all placemarks have hyperlinks to make direct contact with the destination.
AmazingMelaka.com also gives newcomers to Google Earth step-by-step instructions. This is a nice touch.

Gadget: Birdsong Identifier
Thursday 20 July 2006 by Edward.
The Birdsong Identifier from Wind & Weather is a handheld player that takes a credit card-sized song card featuring detailed color photographs of ten birds, grouped by habitat, to play each bird’s song. It comes with two cards (Backyard birds). Forest/Meadow bird cards and Waterbird cards are available. This might be a great tool for the birder-in-training.
