we are all here

I'm on map kick today. I did a random del.icio.us search for GIS, or Geographical Information Sytems, and I found this list. Looking for an aerial map of the U.S.? Check out windowseat.
Window Seat decodes the sights to be seen on any flight across North America. Broken down by region, this handy little softcover book features 70 aerial photographs; a fold-out map of North America showing major flight paths; profiles of each region covering its landforms, waterways, and cities; tips on spotting major and not-so-major sights; and straightforward, friendly text on cloud shapes, weather patterns, the continent's history, and more.
