People really getting into the Google Maps act!

In a previous post I talked about the Zoto-powered Geoproject which is attempting to collect all the confluence points in the USA. Here is a person from Argentina who is taking a picture of his confluence point in Buenos Aires, Argentina (Lat -30.61086 Long -58.41862). His blog shows the zoom in to show where the picture is taken. I think it's great that he's actually holding a pushpin with the latitude and longitude to illustrate! :)

It would be interesting to see people doing this all over. Sort of brings lat/long to life.

I don't get the Geoproject... there is a long established project called the Degree Confluence Project which is doing the exact same thing, worldwide. Why are they trying to reinvent the wheel?
