Google Earth

I search to see if anyone posted but it seems that noone has, so here it goes. If it has sorry.

anyway, this is so cool, I can't stop plotting locations. I love the way it zooms in to areas.

Google Earth

Re: Google Earth

It's funny this guy that lives down the road from me has a driveway that's so long they actually have it shown as a road. LoL

Re: Google Earth

It's pretty neat, I've had it a few months.

Bill Gates put out Terra Server years ago. It has been downsized big time in that past years. I remember looking at my house almost in perfect view... Now I can hardly make out my neighborhood.

I guess the Government caught wind of it.

I love the fact that I can tilt the terrain and zoom in like I am flying over the neighborhood. It reminds me of the old Microsoft Flight Simulator program.

Re: Google Earth

A friend looked for the communication towers on top of Mt. Wilson but couldn't find them. He looked for a few other potential military targets but couldn't find them either. They're probably blocked out.

Re: Google Earth

Google Earth is awesome, but they should update it though, it's at least 7 months old, and older, there's a road near me that opened 6 months ago, it's a huge highway, and google earth shows it still in construction.

Still awesomeage though.

Not all of it is that old, and I'm sure it's constantly being updated. It's just that you can't get sattelite images for the entire earth whenever you want to. Eventually, they'll update the images of the highway, but meanwhile, images of other areas will get stale.

This used to be called Keyhole LT which I downloaded last year sometime. Was pretty damn cool. I always like looking at Vegas. You can also find Area 51.

Re: Google Earth

I think Toks and I would agree that this is copying WorldWind from Nasa.


Edit: Alot better than WorldWind
