I remember as a little boy, (for those rude enough to think it, yes even shorter than I am now) our family went camping. My brother and I went exploring alone, and we got lost. I remember being frightened and I remember my big brother yelling out for Mum and Dad, only to discover that we were actually only about 50 meteres away, we just couldn't see them!
Anyway, wouldn't it have been great if we had GPS technology back then? Well we do now, so if you have Google Earth you can check out where I live, where I work, and some of the places I visit. (Just be careful when you plug in the coordinates if you're in Australia, it is quite a dizzying ride from Australia around the globe to Haiti.- Home/Office: 18°35'22.95"N / 72°14'23.00"W
- DHQ (New Site due to earthquake damage of old buildings): 18°33'26.69"N / 72°19'37.93"W
- Place de la Paix (Salvo run IDP Camp): 18°33'25.04"N / 72°20'15.20"W
- Children's Home: 18°33'24.13"N / 72°20'12.58"W
- School: 18°33'21.69"N / 72°20'11.94"W
- (Old) DHQ (Back) & Clinic Front: 18°33'23.93"N / 72°20'9.84"W
- Port-au-Prince Corps: 18°33'23.18"N / 72°20'11.08"W
Just note that the images (I get) are dated 25 January 2010, (13 days after the quake) so it looks like the IDP camp is half full, let me assure you that it is now completely full and overflowing. (In the 'Fly to' box type in coordinates in the following format: 18.332318, -72.201108, you should be near Port-au-Prince, if not navigate using the coordinates that appear at the bottom of the screen.)
