Saligao is visible from cyberspace, however the photos are much more grainy(compared to Mapusa – most probably due to altitude)
The church is visible also at: Latitude 15°32'46.75"N and Longitude 73°47'9.93"E
In fact if you follow the road from Charas building to the cemetery, you can see the dhobi's washing which shows as a big patch of white (unless some big building has been constructed in the fields in the last three years since I was in Goa)
The saligao fountain is a dense patch of green in front of the seminary which is located at 15°32'16.27"N; 73°47'48.64"E
One should be able display the latitude and longitude by pressing Ctrl+L (Tip: Locate a known area and navigate from there using roads to keep your bearings) I actually located the Gandhi Chowk in Mapusa and followed the road right back to Saligao.

A schoolmate, Miguel Braganza, sent me a fascinating photo showing the school ground of Britto's as reflected in Google Earth. Has anyone seen images of Saligao? Is it possible to create a map of the village in this way?
