Tech Republic: A satellite's-eye view of Turin - Home of the 2006 Winter Olympics

Turin.jpg

Lets take the opportunity afforded by satellite imagery, compliments Google Maps, to view the site of the 2006 Winter Olympics being held in the Italian city of Turin. 'For a satellite's-eye view of exactly where all these events are taking place, Google has provided new high-resolution maps inside its Google Earth software program, which allow a viewer to zoom right into the mountains to see where the adrenalin-filled Winter Olympic skiers will soon be slaloming downhill.'
