Google Satellite Photos Worry India Leader (http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/10/15/AR2005101500606.html)

"Indian President A.P.J. Abdul Kalam expressed concern Saturday about a free mapping program from Google Inc., warning it could help terrorists by providing satellite photos of potential targets."

"Google Earth, an Internet site launched in June this year, allows users to access overlapping satellite photos. Although not all areas are highly detailed, some images are very high resolution, and some show sensitive locations in various countries."

The Israelis should be up and shouting too, considering that they have worked hard for restrictions on satelite imagery of their country from getting into the hands of 'the other party(ies)'.

Yup,
Go to their message board. Look up the military section ;) Members post locations of Iranian gun emplacements, Chinease military bases, US cruse missiles(while in flight BTW!), Hind helicopters, nuclear subs, ect.... Pretty cool.

Thoughts on personal GPS's that I may buy online and take over w/me? Are the Rino's w/radios causing problems over there? Thx.
