Where in the Bible?

I just started testing out StumbleUpon, which is a social networking/site recommendation website, and one of the first sites I ’stumbled upon’ was a really cool map site call BibleMap.Org. Let’s say you’re reading your Bible in the book of Joshua, and want to know where the Ammonites lived (it’s from Joshua 12, among other places). You can go to the website, look up Joshua 12 (which is actually the example they use on the website), and all of the site names that are referenced in the chapter will be highlighted. Click on a link, and it highlights the location on a Google Earth map. You can zoom in, look at other nearby locations, and see background information on the location. Pretty cool!
