The Timberline Lodge on Mt Hood
(aka the Overlook Hotel)
It was use in Kubrick's version of The Shining
45°19'52.05"N 121°42'40.84"W

I thought I read the interior only and the exterior was a set?

The Fawlty Towers location.

I always wanted to go there. West of London, in Earlshire or was it Bournmouthshire? I can't remember. The building was the Wooburn Grange Country Club and burned in 1991. Eventually 8 homes were built there.

At the fork of 3 small roads, I'm not positive which corner it was on, but the pin is within 100'

51°34'39.78"N 0°41'37.31"W

I attached a picture. If the sat pic is updated we'll lose the plane.

thats awesome. cool that there would be happen to be a plane right there

 

[AFA]

I had a marker with a very detailed Carnival ship at the port in Ocho Rios, Jamaica, but when I went back the ship was gone, so thus the picture with the plane. London is to the East so I don't know where it's going.

I've seen a lot of pics with planes. Someone somewhere had a list of them.

I like looking at the Barringer Crater from a high altitude photo. It shows what a meteorite can do if it hits with enough remaining mass.

Yeah me too but I was totally shocked that it was in such low resolution! I mean it is one of the most famous craters on earth!:dunno:

That's Google Maps, different, we are using Google Earth. But I was trying to figure out a way to do just that, post a link. What we do now is copy the coordinates manually out to a post, but you lose the altitude, orientation, etc. although it's easy for the reader to find the location.

Best I could come up with was to, (start to), email a marker, then cancel it, and remove the link from the unsent email, but the attachment created can't be easily copied or dragged and dropped into a post.

Maybe Google Maps is just better to use, I don't know the working differences, nor the differences between the Free Google Earth and the paid upgrade?

I have been trying to find KittyKat's house with Google Earth but it would always take me to a part of London (far away from where she lives) but when I used the Google map it took me right there! Looks like for the places I can't find with Google Earth, I will give Google Maps a try to get me close enough to find it with the other!

LOL OK I'm rambling! LOL

I've located pics with Google Earth to get co-ordinates, after looking at links with Google Maps. At least what I was looking at had the same pictures, (cars, etc. in the pics)

I kinda like cutting and pasting the coordinates I get from everyone who posts them in this thread because a lot of the places are complete mysteries to me where they are until I click the search button! It's part of the fun for me!

I know more about using Google Earth, and find I can use it faster and with more control. Several places in the Caribbean were just upgraded in resolution from very low, so that's always exciting to revisit vacation spots.
