Google Earth
One of the perks of being abroad and having genuine high speed internet is being able to use Google Earth, a free program that lets you look at the entire world from satellites and aerial photos. I love flying around the planet and checking out landscapes, cities, coasts...
It also lets you add your own markers on the globe, with links and info and all... so how could I resist creating a massive compilation of sites in Armenia? I couldn't. I have put the file online and anyone using Google Earth can visit the Armeniapedia.org Travel and Tourism page and click on the "Armenian Locations on Google Earth" link. I'd like to keep going and add every little Armenian "thing" in the world eventually, keeping the file up to date, so if you have any additions, just email them to me. Otherwise, just enjoy.

Raffi, the doc.kml file from ArmeniaPedia points to the Atlantic Ocean, somewhere West of the Canari Islands I believe.

How about the Mikoyan Brothers museum near the Sanahin Vank?
you're right, I'll have to add that and a bunch more off the beaten track places. that will be in my next update!
Too bad the Armenia picture resolution is not higher. It would be cool to actually be able to see the Mayr Hayrenik statue.
