Any suggestion of creative Google Earth and Google Maps hacks works?

I’ve been invited to curate the Digital Art a la Carte section for the upcoming Sonar, a festival of advanced music and multimedia art (Gosh! What an honour! i never dreamed i’d be asked anything of the kind when i started blogging a couple of years ago.) The Digital Art a la Carte section consists of works related to a topic that Sónar considers specially interesting that year. It can be an interactive software, a website, or a video; any piece that can be shown on a computer screen.

This year’s theme is GOOGLE EARTH AND GOOGLE MAPS HACKS.

I have a couple of ideas so far but i’m sure many of you have much more knowledge on the subject than me. So if you can think of any creative, surprising and fun to spend time with project that use Google Earth or Google Earth as a tool, please comment on this post or drop me a line at reg at we-make-money-not-art “place the dot here” com.
