Google Earth meets Geocaching

Google Earth.  Google Earth is a web based program that enables you to view the earth from satellite images and aerial photos in a fluid, scrolling manner.   The resolutions vary and the images are not exactly up-to-date, but it's a great program for checking stuff out around the world and getting an idea what things are like.   Well, another fun thing to do is Geocaching – which is like a treasure hunt with GPS.  There is a web site you go to that tells you where (by lat and long, or utm or whatever setting you want) there are geocaches in your area.   Now, Geocaching and Google Earth have come together and so you can view where the geocaches are in your area simply by logging on to Google Earth and clicking the appropriate button.   It will make geocaching much less time consuming to get started.  Why does it matter now?  As it turns out there are approximately 8 geocaches that I should be able to find on various FOBs in Iraq.   Of course, I won't make a special trip over dangerous roads to get there, but once there, it'll be a bonus to look them up and find them.
