Caffy's 3d earth screensaver thread got me thinking about how neat it would be if there was a fantasy google earth - sort of a Google MiddleEarth, if you will - in which you could zoom down from a planet-wide view to see all the little fantasy continents, and lower still, to check out all their landmarks and cities (etc).

Ok, so it'd be pretty useless, but I reckon that it would be quite fascinating - and it'd also be an intriguing creative exercise for writers and worldbuilders.

Dumb idea?
