1. Think of some human construction or other geographical feature that could be seen from a satellite photo
2. Try to find it on Google Maps on your own
a. try to find it first with just your own knowledge of geography (i.e., the Great
Pyramids are across the Nile from Cairo)
b. use the hybrid map/satellite feature
c. last resort -- open a tab on your browser and find a regular map of the area
3. Variation -- find something unusual, and try to figure out what the heck it is.
Here are a couple (I couldn't get the "insert link" feature to work correctly, so you'll have to cut and paste):
