Huh? You're talking about smog, not fog.
And so are the people amongst whom London is famous for having fog.

What are some foods that are in the same taste group as cranberries?
Google Earth doesn´t have all of that, but it is a lot more interactive than Google Maps
I just had a dream about Donald Trump having a love affair with Harry Potter. Sorry, but discussing it here is therapeutic.
Is it worth it to read ancient classics like the Epic of Gilgamesh or the Iliad?
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.
You can do that with Google maps, but the functionality is geared for developers.
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.
The English one, I'd imagine.
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.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.

Then go for Lattimore, I guess? It's been updated recently by some other scholar, I think.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.
