Stumbled across this little gem today. Type in a location and the program finds it on the globe and then shows you, in full colour. It found my house, which is kinda creepy, and I was able to zoom in close enough to make out the doghouse in the backyard. Have fun!

It was a bit pixellated for me but you can see all the patchwork fields that surround our village which I thought was quite pretty :D

My area doesn't have any hi-res images like above. It's just patches of green though I have no idea where the green came from. It's pretty dry here.

Well thanks for this gem. I am easily ammused. I killed 2 hours with this thing lastnight. LOL. Pretty cool stuff.

It won't let me install it on WinMe... :( Now if somehow I could get the files from an already installed version... I might be able to acquire the drivers. Usually that's the only thing that stops newer programs from running on the older WinOS systems.

I've heard about it, just never been there..I doubt there's anything where I am, though my 'neighborhood' looks mostly like the first pic up there..;)

I highly recommend the 3d flythrough of the Grand Canyon. Mount St Helens is pretty neat too. :)

Yeah, I found this little gem a few weeks ago. This is the closest I could get. This shot was taken in winter, and I would guess, at least 6 years ago. I can tell because I can see the square where the city used to erect a small skating rink in the Park. They haven't done that in at least six years. Sorry, forgot the pic in that first post.
