 		Spell a Word or Name with Buildings
Credit goes to the PMs of Holomove for using this in our latest puzzle (a word spelled out with buildings found by using the latitude and longitude coordinates and changing to a satelite view) and probably using this site: http://www.geogreeting.com/main.html to find the needed letters.

 		Saw that, and that is way cool. I'm impressed that every letter of the alphabet is covered.

*EDIT*
Holy crap, they got numbers and symbols too!

 		Cool thing. But an interesting question may be: is there any way to get the coordinates of the buildings?

When you type in the message you want to turn into building pics, and then click on an individual letter, a pop-up window appears. For example, typing in KingBender to the page brought up a number of images, and clicking on the K resulted in a pop-up window with the following URL: http://www.geogreeting.com/bigmap.html?40.790858+-111.941135+17+Salt%20Lake%20City%2C%20UT+k

Your coordinates are in the URL.

40.790858 -111.941135

Hope this helps!
