Cause some aerial maps from other software have pictures from like 10 years ago and stuff. How much does it cost? Posted by: raiden_nrl The program is free, they are not old because it has pictures of the new park that was just built by my house 5 days ago.... Posted by: 010001100101010 really? i thought that the pictures were at least a year or two old.

Posted by: Darybart Some one help so google Earth are not up to date phot's Posted by: 2fast4u why are the pictures so blurring? i can't zoom in more than 49850 without it being so blurry i can't see it Posted by: molsen it depends on the area...some areas aren't photographed in high resolution, others are in very high resolution...like new york city for example....you can zoom in on cars pretty much. also, sometimes the google server won't load images so you have to exit then restart. Posted by: 2fast4u ok thanks Posted by: Yin-Yang LOL im not on the map because my house is near a military base and seams to be in the middle of the desert so I guess they found my comunity usless to put on... sad... but then agin I fell safe. ^^ Posted by: bsnyder100 I like MSN maps way better, even though there is no client it show details that google maps can get nowhere near.

Posted by: EricB [QUOTE][i]Originally posted by Jby [/i] [B]Oh what I'd give to have private access to a spy satellite... [/B][/QUOTE] a cracked google earth pro will do it. google got in trouble last year when troops use the software to track the miltary, so they changed a few things. Posted by: harley3344 seriously? lol i figured only military ( high ranks ) would have even remote access to the satellites Posted by: The General Yeah he was joking... lol Posted by: skullker cool i found my house Posted by: Meithan Google Earth is one of the most amazing pieces of technology available to the general public. Imagine what people 100 years ago would think of it - heck, even 50 years ago! You can view a photograph of any place in the world, instantly, freely, comfortably at home. I've used it to measure distances in my area countless times. Want to know which route from home to work is shorter? Just use the path tool! Truly amazing. :) Posted by: barbiedoll1973 We have this downloaded on our computer and I have to agree its is very heat I love it. Posted by: john872 The problem with Google earth is that it takes up a lot of resources. You need a good spec computer to use it and alot of people do not have that. Other than that, I think it is good. Posted by: Mr. Switch Google earth always seems to blow my mind when I use it. Posted by: sam2698 I agree. Google earth is the best map program ever. CNN seem to use it a lot. :D Posted by: ĉArchOAngelĉ the movie crank uses it too, in the movies it wasnt edited out completely and u can see where it says google ea Posted by: EricB they used it on the people's court today Posted by: NvidiaDude Microsoft Virtual Earth seems.. okish Posted by: swtwc My friend showed me it one day. It had a snap shot of where I used to live with my old car in the drive way. Now I look up anything I remember. vBulletin Copyright ©2000 - 2003, Jelsoft Enterprises Limited.
