Basically, the smoke from burning fuel in cars, factories and homes doesn't quite blow away.

Bump.
Also another question:
Is there any way to get Google Maps... but with interactivity? I'd like to make a personal map that includes neighbourhood lines, pins indicating specific locations (example: average rent on that street, a grocery store, a weird niche store that is really cool, etc), places of interest, etc. Preferably something that stays intact once you leave the tab/program so you don't have to redo it every single time. I'd get a full-sized map printed out professionally but I have nowhere to keep it so digital is the way to go for me right now.
Bonus points if it's compatible with live-update bus routes, directions, etc. I'm pretty much looking for something exactly like Google Maps, just... you know... with interactivity added onto it. Any help would be much appreciated.

Just to be clear, I don't want the information on the map to be automatically given, I meant that I want the ability to add it manually.
As far as I can tell Google Earth is the same as Google Maps unless you buy Google Earth Pro (which is more for mapping rather than marking), which is for businesses and costs a super cheap $400.

If you want to read them then read them. If you don't want to read them then don't read them.
I liked both epics immensely, for the record.

Any translation I should use?
I've always been a bit suspicious of people who read epic poetry for fun. It tends to be literature to invade Poland to.

Is it wrong of me to think that Gravity's Rainbow is the greatest book ever written?

Can you tell me how to access that, then? There is nothing on http://maps.google.ca that I can see that would let me do that.

Probably easier to use something like GmapGIS or Scribble Maps though.
Yeah, but some are better than others. I don't want to have to wade through a dense mishmash of Shakespearean English while being told precisely what I should find inspiring or tragic.
Robert Fagles' translation of the Iliad is fairly highly regarded despite its use of transliterations that I don't like. It's more, uh, poetic than some of the more literally correct translations (like the immortal Lattimore one) but I think that's actually a plus rather than a minus because you're reading a, y'know, poem.
I hate poetry with every fiber of my soul. I'd rather read it like a novel, even if it sacrifices some of the original intent.
Then go for Lattimore, I guess? It's been updated recently by some other scholar, I think.
