fivelinks - geography
• One of the more popular Flickr groups is Guess Where London, full of as yet unidentified photos of the capital. Too easy? You need the pictorial challenge that is Guess Where Isle of Wight. [yeah, obviously, it's a heating pipe at Newport hospital]
• How quickly can you pinpoint a variety of cities and countries on a global map? How well do you know your world?. (I can't get further than Level 10, I just don't know my Pacific Islands well enough) [via stroppycow]
• To visit London without leaving your armchair, take a look at The London Map - an interactive virtual tour of the capital linked to over 100 panoramic 360° panoramas [see also Oxford, Cambridge, the Scottish Highlands, Paris, etc]
• The 20th Century Society is trying to safeguard the few remaining K8 telephone kiosks for posterity. Only 12 working examples of these 1965 stalwarts remain, apparently. But where are they, and do you know of any more? [or maybe you'd prefer a commemorative teatowel] [via i like]
• Hey, car drivers, want to know the latest traffic conditions, emergency incidents and roadworks? Traffic Radio broadcasts continuous live traffic updates 24 hours a day online and on DAB Digital Radio, right across the UK. [It's like local radio travel news, but without the crass music and annoying DJs]
