Google Earth

I showed my Mom and Dad how to use Google Earth today-- how to zoom-in and out, pan and rotate the map. Overall it went well. My Dad spent about 2 hours surfing the earth.

Pinch-to-zoom was a bit awkward as my Mom has long fingernails; I didn't realize that double-tap also zoomed-in. Rather than using the thumb and forefinger, it was easier using the index and middle fingers in a V-shape.

I also showed my Mom how to use Safari to browse an online clothing store.
