Bump for later viewing on a much faster computer that isn't a piece of sh*t.

I'be been hooked on it for about a month now...Check out the border of Texas/Mexico (Neuvo Larado) all the cars leaving Mexico.
Also check out the Pyramids of Giza, and Mt. Ararat...
Question is why can I see my dog in my backyard but details of North Korea, China, Panama Canal, etc... hmmm ?

I can see the number and types of planes parked on the tarmac at NAS Key West, too.
As well as my house....apparently, I was not home when during the fly-over.

I wonder when the data will be updated..or maybe you have to BUY the updates...

It can map the images on top of topographical data.
Be sure to use the controls that change the viewing angles.
As a private pilot this is an awesome tool to familiarize oneself with unfamiliar terrain. I wish MS flight simulator had this quality.

So it seems that the "OLDEST" user is about 4 weeks... I was just trying to figure out when this was released... and why it took me 4 weeks to find it... LOL

And they are too lazy at Google to port it to the Mac. :-(
The superior graphics in Macs and OS X this should be fantastic.

I've been playing with it for about a month. There are dynamic layers you can add to it as well. Radar, cloud cover, hurricane model forecasts, time zones, news reports, real time traffic, etc.
There are no limits.
