    Google Earth - PowerPoint

    Got a great idea! I have to give PowerPoint presentations every so often to describe things that might be anywhere on the planet. Google Earth is a very neat tool for finding such things - type in GPS coordinates, and it rotates the globe and zooms into your spot of interest.

    I'd like to include a movie of that in my presentation, so my audience gets a groovy CSI style zoom in on the spot. Any suggestions on how best to do that? Assume my presentation computer has neither Google-Earth or internet during the talk.

    Make sure your play with the new Google Street View as well. I found it entertaining.

    I believe you'll need the pro version of Google Earth if you want to make movies that zoom around and stuff. But it's like $400! Hopefully I'm wrong. I wonder if FRAPS would record it for you?
