Google Earth helps demonstraters

Google Earth has many uses:

Google Earth Helped Demonstraters Plot Protest at UK Parliament

Yesterday, it emerged that demonstrators who protested on the roof of the Houses of Parliament had used Google Earth to find their way onto the roof. The protesters were demonstrating against the expansion of Heathrow Airport, and Google Earth helpfully allowed them to locate the walkways, steps and other details that they needed to walk across the roof.
