I don't really have any plan of where this would go, and it doesn't matter what service it's based on somakes sense to use one where the detail is good. I went for Google Maps and Earth simply because I had the idea when I was using them anyway. I didn't realise that Microsoft Live had this option until your comment. It's handy having a file that can be shared so I might stick with google for now but I'm open to ideas, and don't lay claim to the project so anyone can take it and run with it without me minding. An idea I had is that in time it could be built up to include more details on each school, and to have a version of the school buildings that have been built in Sketch Up. I have shamelessly pinched this idea from <a href="http://www.ltscotland.org.uk/slf/seminarsandkeynotes/seminars/usingfreeapplicationstolink3ddrawingandhistory.asp" rel="nofollow">Islay High School</a>.

There isn't a lot of detail around Kilmarnock just now - Microsoft's Live Earth is better. Here's my shared link if you want a look, you then pick the aerial view (or the hybrid one which shows the street names as well):- East Ayrshire Secondaries – Microsoft Live Earth 18/06/2007 http://maps.live.com/?v=2&cid=303044FF63A3FE32!106&encType=1 Maybe we'll get the Primaries etc. done sometime and then all schools might be available under GLOW.
