  You can generate a National Geographic style map of anywhere in the world here, at a range of scales - nothing big enough to be useful for on-the-road navigation, but decent for pre-tour route plotting.
  
  
• www.hamncheez.com/download.php?flash=endoftheworld.swf
  Sorry, I find this one irresistable, though utterly irrelevant. It's a big download - 3 MB or more, so don't bother with it if you're connected somewhere slow and expensive. You need speakers if you're to make sense of it.
  
  
• www.rathergood.com/moon_song/
  The same applies to this - though the download is a little smaller. Also requires speakers or some noise-emitting device to be appreciated.
