Cranfield Posted March 29, 2006 Report Share Posted March 29, 2006 Is anyone else playing with this programme ? http://earth.google.com/ There are still areas of the country that are not high definition, but in most areas the detail is amazing, right down to cars on the drive.

Axe Posted March 29, 2006 Report Share Posted March 29, 2006 I gave it a go but unfortunately my area is not covered by the high definition images yet. Something I find quite surprising, but there you go. I am looking forward to it being covered, it looks very useful indeed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kdubya Posted March 29, 2006 Report Share Posted March 29, 2006 I use it, shame not all area's are covered It can be quite nostalgic? I have zoomed into one of my old houses many miles from where I am now, (I have followed roads to ex mates and girls houses etc brings back memories!!) and can even see the pampas grass bush I planted YEARS ago, and my present home although not as high def as some areas shows my old patio which I replaced about 2 years ago so its well out of date cheers KW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ferret Master Posted March 29, 2006 Report Share Posted March 29, 2006 Hi, You need a good graphic card to run it in high detail. The computer I'm typing this on has a **** graphic card but the computer in the house that we haven't connected to broardband yet has an amazing graphic card. :blink: FM :thumbs: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
