Resolution seems better then Google Earth - and the Birds Eye View Stuff available for East London and Brighton is stunning stuff.

PS - Change the view from Road to Aerial

That's a very very very old shot of my road.

What it shows as garages are now houses.

Wicked stuff though.

Pretty good stuff init :D

I wonder how old these things are.  I think the Google version of my street is newer, still, I expect it does take years to compile a street map of the world.

Well you have to know these things, after all I don't want to get caught with a Billy ghost, people would think I was gay.

it's ok, they would never know - it's invisible.  And it's a little girl ghost so I don't think you want to go there!

Why is there a bath in your garden?

It's a tin bath, we use it as a paddling pool for the dogs and the cat in the hot weather.

I don't think Google Earth gives detail like this does it?....

I must admit, the picture quality is much better. However, it's so slow!

The B shot is good though.

The fly through on google is good for Vegas

I think the picture quality is better than google earth, but it doesn't zoom in as far on the areas I've looked at.

About 3.5-4 years old I'd say.  My estate (which was completed mid 2003) is about half built in the google earth pictures.

Dunno how long ago you downloaded Google Earth - but there's an updated version on their site.

Post by: Claw75 on August 04, 2006, 03:26:07 PM
I've not looked at it for a few months, so I'm guessing my info is out of date then.  It's a lot more up to date than the windows one either way.
