Re: Google Earth.

It is indeed very cool. You can zoom right in and see your house which is a bit freaky!

That's fucking awesome! :RightOn:

In the places section, go under Sightseeing, then double-click Grand Canyon. Once done, double-click on the Colorado Rivew View :shock:

I found the Colosseum:[list]41?53'24.56" N 12?29'32.15"[/list]

There is still quite a few locaitons not on the map, but its pretty awesome. Zoomed in on my highschool in Denver, and found my parents home. I wish you could zoom in all the way without the pixels getting grainy.

apparently with the pay service the quality is MUCH better

Re: Google Earth.

I went to Rio looking for the Jeebus. Got lost in downtown. haha. This program is amazing. I can not believe it streams all that data. I almost want to pay the extra bucks ... they got me hooked.

Also went to the Pyramids and dropped a hello in London. Bora Bora is beautiful. and part of Hawaii is just mmm perfect. Some maps are terrible, but I guess over time they will have this whole world mapped perfectly.

From the info I got it looks like it comes from "quickbird" it can orbit the Earth in about 92.xx minutes. I saw a before, during and after of Sri Lanka. OMG.

The coolest Atlas I have ever had. and it is free. 8)

Re: Google Earth.

Re: Google Earth.

The Great Pyramid of Giza is cool.

Re: Google Earth.

Awesome program, very addicting. I spent 5 hours on this the other night :shock:

Re: Google Earth.

It is ... I do not even want to open it. :lol:

I was looking for military bases last night. It was so cool to see all the different ones out there. That bbs forum is cool as well. Some people have found some weird things on this planet.

I found a place in the Florida Keys called "Ramrod Key" :lol:

...and they all have a water road system! crazy shit... never seen one of those before. it's this crazy water road that comes in from the ocean, and it has about 20 brances going to nearly half the houses on the island.

check it out at 24?38'52.50" N, 81?24'24.85" W

Re: Google Earth.
