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.
Our friends over at Virtual Globetrotting are currently running a Street View scavenger hunt to find interesting words in the imagery.
Prizes for the top 5 competitors in the scavenger hunt is a copy of the 5 star rated classic Off the Map, the US edition of the Google Sightseeing Book.
Rules of the Scavenger Hunt are available on Virtual Globetrotting or, if your not so good at hunting, the book is still available for purchase on Amazon UK and US.

Thanks Izzy!
