Gotta see this new website from GOOGLE..
Zoom in on YOUR HOUSE of anyone elses for that matter anywhere on the EARTH..
Amazing FLY TO feature is something you gotta see..
MUST HAVE HIGH SPPED CONNECTION FOR THE SOFTWARE TO FUNCTION...
I downloaded and installed this a few weeks ago. It's pretty amazing!!
Just when I thought I had "seen it all" on the net... have ya'all see this...

AND ITS FREE !!!!!
You must have got it when it was first released.. I just found out about it.. and I consider myself pretty "UP TO DATE" on what it out there...
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 ?
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.
Move a little to the left...
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
Dude - I thought the world was flat! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!
Go to the grand canyon...then get yourself to 3d low-down level and you can fly through the canyon..it's pretty damn cool
I am using this to teach my kids geography..
