It is simply incredible. Using the already cool program Google Earth, the OpenBible folks have taken it upon themselves to code the locations of every place named in the Bible, by book and chapter, on Google Earth. For example, in the picture at the right, I looked up Deuteronomy 34 and it mentions Mt Nebo, "Then Moses went up from the plains of Moab to Mount Nebo, to the top of Pisgah, which is opposite Jericho. And the LORD showed him all the land, Gilead as far as Dan."
With each chapter that you click on, it will show in one shot all the places mentioned in that chapter, so you may have to scroll in to see more clearly what you are looking for. However, you can get right down to the surface level in many cases. (It is important to point out that for this to work, you will need to install Google Earth on your computer).
This seems as though it would be an amazing resource for homeschoolers or even just people interested more in biblical geography.
