Its kinda fun to alternate between google earth / google maps satellite view and wikipedia as you scroll along Alexander the Great's path or visually examine the pyramid complexes in Egypt or search for ghost towns in the USA west, or that strange linear string of meteor craters across the american midwest. I remember around the turn of the century a guy who mapped out infrastructure for some grad school project getting his term paper classified for having way too much detail about electrical switching infrastructure weak points. However even in 2020 there's plenty of stuff to look for on military bases both famous and not famous, and its also fun to take overhead journey of something like the Empire Builder railroad line and compare it to my memories of taking that ride in person. Also national parks look interesting on google earth, at least to me.
