    I'm putting together a map to log my flights on.  The map is zoomable to the street level and I've tried to make the pins as close to where I was actually standing as possible.  Clicking on a location on the left sidebar or on a map pin opens the detail with the video.  I'm not done yet but here is what I've got so far:

    Wow, really cool features in Google Maps! We'll have to get together sometime and you can show me how to use some of these?

    OK.  Do you have a laptop with wireless that works at the redwood school?

    Yew, I have a laptop with WiFi. But I didn't know there was a WiFi access point at the school.

    I don't know if there is WiFi over there, I kind of doubt it.  I was hoping you had a cellular enabled laptop or a cellular dongle.  I know Rick had a cellular iPad but I don't know if this can be done on that.  Maybe we can meet at a Cafe in town unless you had another idea.

    I had not yet tried it on a mobile phone.  Yes, it's taking mine a long time also even with WiFi.  There are well over 40 data points being loaded and it seems to have some amount of pre-fetching going on.  I wonder if the YouTube videos are also fetching some data.
