already the third post in a really short time; unluckily, no tiem frame for Google to update picture quality around Khorat is known.

Even in the image of highly developed countries like Germany there are locations where you cannot recognize villages that've been there for a couple a hundreds years. I think we for now should be grateful for what is there on Google Earth now. Remember, it's an image of the whole world!

The downloading service on http://www.geocities.com/korat_th/Placemarks will remain but not be updated anymore, since thanks to the initative of SportRider there is a much better facility http://www.yahoo.com.com/board/index.php/topic,16.0.html from where placemarks can be viewed on a list and opened or downloaded according to one's needs.

http://www.yahoo.com.com/board/index.php/topic,10.0.html is the location where you can post a message with supplementing placemarks made by you. Please give a short explanation about the place and its significance. Thank you!

The former facities are operated by the Korat Expats Club as a community service. Anybody's collaboration is appreciated.

I connot edit anymore, so:

The still young facility Google Earth is of course not perfect yet, but it's amazing: so let's just make the best of it!
