This is pretty impressive, i just downloaded it yesterday and had a look at it today.

Last time i had such a software was a few years back and at that time the resolution wasnt clear enough, but the opposite is proven with Google's Earth.

I was pretty surprised to see my house in Bangkok! Usually only the super cities are photographed.

I am very impressed, Google will rule the World ;)

Google didn't give me a good picture of our place but MultiMap aerial photos gives a pretty good view! We're in the yellow dot.

Yeh google world is a pretty cool application.
I like spinning the world round and zooming in on a random place.....
then i imagine im god smiting all the people who live there.

A friend of mine went out side and started waving at the sky to see if i could see him, he's a bit of an idiot.... I told him i see him just to keep him happy.

They're live pictures.



Some people will be logical and all "but it's sunny everywhere so why is there no nighttime," but you gotta have faith. Have faith man, and they'll be live pictures!

From eye-level it looks bad ... I hadn't realised there was so much greenery
around these parts. Birds-eye view flatters it I think.

Bleh, anybody else had this problem? The DirectX Mode is crap.
I'd love to change the world, but they won't give me the source code.
