Has anyone played on this yet, if you live in or near plymouth you can zoom right in to your house and if your really sad (like me ) you can set a route to a destination (i did it to my work)

My house is lat=50.3953420548, lon=-4.142322964

You can also find things like niagara falls, the eiffel tower, statue of liberty, ayers rock, etc

Great fun and educational (just not for spelling)
Download it from here http://www.google.co.uk/downloads/

Yeah i have played with it too, you can even see the sub i work on

and you can even see the cars in our car park at home...

and you can see my willy hanging out the window onto the road

When you leaving
Go for it Ash any of them see if they look like they do on the website

It dosnt seem to want to focus on my house to well so I got bored of it. Glad to be back on the internet. Me computer broke down

its pretty cool - i can see my old car outside.

you have to try the fly by function to fly to various destinations around the world - its a bit spinny?!

Lol, my little road doesnt come up...what a bugger

Any chance someone can tell me how you focus or is that it.

Able to zoom in but it all goes blurry

How much have you had to drink?


It focuses automatically, but can only go so far, its diferent for diferent areas. Around Plymoth is quite good, I can see my car on the drive, but up round Minhead I can't even see mum's house. I don't know what its like where you are.

the quality of zoom is dependent on the area but you can sometimes see it better if you use the angle tool to give it that 3d effect.

downloaded it the other night and spent an hour playing on it the detailed bits are quite amazing, shame there's not much of devon on close-up yet

Think the bits of it with the most detail are around airfields, dockyards etc. Where they have used satilite images.I wonder why
