Had a look today what a bit of kit

 

played around for hours with that last night actually, most impressed with it!

 

just needs to be in real time

 

tis very cool although if you try and go down to street level in some parts of the world it doesnt always wanna play

 

Yeah I cant get a good view of anything close up

 

must be one hell of a lense on their camera

 

whats the link ?

 

http://earth.google.com/ think thats it

 

wicked program

 

is that ment too be can't? becaurse i cant see roads clear

 

Sorry Gareth your right CANT see anything close up clearly at all

 

I think it's amazing.

Played with it at work for a while.

You will find that due to google being the developers, and being yanks, they have highly concentrated on the USA, and major cities in the UK. As for rest of world, the quality is a bit more poor.

I managed to see whales in Sea World Orlando Florida, aswell as the Hollywood sign in the hills of L.A.

You can see all around Disney, the boats on the lakes, the rides and even the Castle

Very well developed piece of software in my opinion

 

cant get it to work, do you need to register?

 

I think its a bit shit to be honest. I can get better ariel photographs for free of where i live that what that produces.

 

Theres some hidden bits and pieces too!

do a search for "hidden mickey"

 

also "worlds biggest toilet"

 

I found that too, personally thought it was wank and a waste of time!

 

do you think they would really have it that detailed so you can read are car numberplate on some shitter in the countryside?

 

By close up I mean nothing even made sense picture wise Si!

 

I can see my house and my mums car parked outside!

Seeems to only have the higher detail in london and major cities

 

nasa world wind is much better

 

cant see much of any use

 

its crap, typed in furtaventura, can't find it

 

It finds it if you spell it right you feckin spaz

fuerteventura

Think its got a spell checker for thick coonts too or what?

 

 

very good in some areas.. i can see the entrance to my office, but when i go to my house its just a green and brown smudge.

 

had a goo look around newyork,,, impressive bit of software, would be wicked if it was live feed

 

come on then,, post your fav images lets see what yo found

 

For once will you shut the fuck up you self important know it all cock

Do you not think I fucking checked that, I mean christ sake I have a map of the fucking island next to me Do you know how fucking irratating you are sometimes, even when I was typing the reply I knew I was spelling it wrong but only you would be a wanker and take the piss wouldn't you

 

Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

 

Lick my sweaty testies

FFS, you spell it wrong here and then moan about it not being able to find it, what other thing we all meant to think- you fucking swelt it wrong there

It dont work here, but il check when i get back to work Its even got my old mans barber shop listed in the search, and the small place my mum works

Nice of you to get so arsey tho

 

Forget the bickering, I want Danja's job if they get to spend that much time on the internet at work

 

finally downloaded it and its fucking cool, I can see my house from space.

which is weird cos I'm in my house looking down on it.

I think I need a lie down to take it all in.

 

swelt?

 

Fuck! Anyone live in Solihull or nearby?

Just realised certain parts of Solihull are incredibly detailed, ie enough to see the road markings on the road an the colour of individual cars on driveways etc

So you WILL be able to see your own car

 

I got the HSBC Bank in Basingstoke.. WTF?


And hidden mickey gets me no results

 

But, I can see my old house in Paisley.

 

A Plane about to land!

 

How do yuo get it to go that detailed?

I live in London, and I wont zoom in that much?

 

Only certain areas have that much detail. The look a dffierent colour on the larger map.

Hang on

There :
