Mebbe v have got so much usedto wd the old design… we find this new one.. odd.
But anyways.. this one is more compact.. one disadvantage .. every time u have to switch to a new page/tab to read the entire post.. well, u can take it the other way.. meaning if u like it u read it or scroll down.. Pros and cons.. different ppl different Opinions..

That is a great plug for Google but how about GPS device manufacturer? What GPS device did she use?

Regardless thats a smart way to train!

I could not recognize the new design until i saw your comment. I dont really find it better than the last one. May be Micheal would make a post with a poll on this new design Vs old design.

Classic. I’ve only used Google Earth to spy on my neighbors and to look at famous peoples’ houses. Maybe I should rethink how I am harnessing the power of the Internets.
