(link will open Google earth and take you straight there, don't click if you can't be bothered

)

Apparently it perfectly represents an area on the border with India, as discussed here

That is really high-res image isn't it?
Not surprising the satellites zoomed in on that one.
Wonder what they're up to?

PS How do you do those links?

I'd love to see a few more pictures of the 'wargame table', there's some with 'giant' blokes walking over it.

Paul, they're called '.kmz' files, I copied and pasted that one from The Register's website. It seems the saved placename or kmz has to be 'live' somewhere online, presumably as part of your site & on your server. You then insert a normal link to that Info.

Google guide here (bottom of the page) not very clear but 'KMZ' turns up a lot of other web info, trying to work out how to do it properly myself now.
