Google Sightseeing takes you on tour of the world as seen from satellite, using the free Google Earth program, or Google Maps in your web browser. Each weekday your guides James and Alex present new weird and wonderful sights as suggested by readers.
The first imagery update of the New Year is now available in Google Earth.
As usual, Google have announced the update with a scavenger hunt while Google Earth Blog, which noticed the update earlier today, has a more complete list of what’s new.
Update: The new imagery is now available in both Google Earth and Google Maps and a full list of what’s new has been posted.

wanted to see if anyone would have an interest in a google earth scavenger hunt. I came up with a list of starting clues but did not actually launch the contest. If I get enough interest, maybe I will give this thing a go.
