In 2005, I found Google Earth in the net.  I was working for a Consultant company which doing a management consultancy for implementation of  Marine Management Program. Our area was Province North Sumatra, consist of three implementation regencies. They are Nias Regency, South Nias Regency and Central Tapanuli Regency. The job needed knowledge about the area which included in the program. Most of the location for the program implementation were in small island and coastal villages in the regencies. In the time, the information about the villages were limited and  lacks of good maps of the area either.
