Try this one also. Pretty cool. Click on satellite on the right and you get a "mapquest" via satellite.

Jonas, very cool.....thanks for sharing

is there a zoom function that i haven't found

hey, maybe i could get into GPS

 

Did you work with it for a while? You can zoom into any building almost anywhere in the world. I found Virginija's parents house in Melbourne, Australia, my sister's house in Binghamton, etc... You can turn on street names, hotels, restaurants, etc..

If you pay $20/year, you can use it with GPS (though who has broadband on their laptop while traveling?)

It's really cool to be zommed into some are, then type in a zip code and watch it take you there.

I just noticed that Area 51 is bookmarked for you!

Thanks for sharing that.

 

Great program!

I tried my parents house in Ireland, but the map turns to fuzz less than half a mile from their house.

 

This morning they have shut it down. Maybe the blurb in the San Francisco Chronicle created to many hits to accomodate.

 

If you want to just look at the US like your house try Microsoft's Terra Server haven't played with it for a few years but they put it up to showcase SQL Server 2000's performance capabilities several years ago.

 

I saw that one way back when.

The more I play with the Google Earth, the more impressed I am. Zoom in on many major cities, and see shots with up to 1 meter resolution.

For those folks visiting downtown Cleveland before or after the upcoming Buckeye run, here's a shot of the waterfront: the Cleveland Browns stadium on the left, next is the Great Lakes Science Museum, then the Rock 'n Roll Hall of Fame:



Very cool!
