Since the weather took a change towards the tolerable (by Finnish standards anyway), I took a stroll outside playing with the Nokia Research Center SportsTracker application. I performed a "Workout" (a walk around the house, really) with route tracking active, sent the recording to my MacBook in the Google Earth KML format and doubled-clicked it open. Lo and behold, Google Earth fired up and displayed my "Workout" overlaid on the Earth satellite imagery:
(Yes, Mr. Google, you could ask your spyplanes to fly over our locale once or twice in order to get a bit more than a blurry brown satellite image.)
When I venture outside again, I will try combining the route data with digital photos by using HoudahGeo. Keep tuned in for more geocoding geekery.
