(Mecca) is now Makkah
On August 12th, 2007 I took this screenshot for my blog entry related to the Astro-theological overlays for Google Earth. The project overlaid the zodiac on locations of religious importance: Vatican City, Mecca, and Jerusalem.
Today I discovered that that the names for the locations have changed in Google Earth.

note: the Kaaba is in the lower right-hand corner
My entire life I have always spelled it the city as Mecca. I wonder when this was changed? Should I change my spellings? Some day I would like to visit the holy city of Makkah :-)
