Before there was Google Earth...
This is a much-blogged site, but perhaps worth another mention for the sheer coolness of the concept. The Degree Confluence Project has a goal of visiting every intersection of integer numbered latitude and longitude lines that's on land or within sight of land (e.g., 21 degrees South, 65 degrees West - which happens to be in Bolivia) and taking photographs. Just to see what's there.
It's a very Web project, too: loose affiliation of geography types, with what seem like minimal institutional connections. Anybody with a GPS unit and a camera can contribute.
