I found my car in birds eye before. :D no lie. I looked all around Quincy Ma before
and found her at my Moms work, right where I use to park to pick her up.

That's pretty cool....My only deal is why can't they connect all the segments into one big shot to pan around in?

PITA.....

The building I work in at the refinery is cut out between 2 pics lol.

The pic of my house is about 4 years old and is the same pic google earth uses just better quality.

Jim W 07-08-2006 06:35 PM

I tried that Microsoft version and Google Earth totally owns it. No question.

I can see my car parked in the driveway of my moms house, that Microsoft crap cant even resolve an aerial image at 4 kms :roll:
