The pics round my area are about 4 years old though - roads are not on there that have been built for ages lol

[Dave S2K]

I've just discovered how good Snowdonia looks, not been there for years.

 

[mas]

[James.]

Anyone tryed the birds eye view? I went to Compton, CA and did it, can see people getting shot and that

 

[Adam]

good stuff this

 

[john.med]

higher definition than google earth in the UK, but a biatch to use

 

[Woodentop]

i like it, the msn plugin is great aswell.

 

[Dafthead]

Good, Well out of date though, there's a car in our drive that we haven't had for about 5 years!!

 

[Toypop]

Its got my 182 on my drive and I got it Sept 04. Pics were taken in the summer judging by the trees so assume it must have been taken last year?

Edit: I can tell it was July/August 2005 because it has the patio stones I put down for my motorbike which were only visible for a month before I put my bike barn on top of them!

 

[Harry_manback]

mines at least 4 years out of date due to the land we have now and had then!
+ theres an entire houseing estate missing in our village!

 

[Adams_16v]

my street is in higher res on the windows live one. but the installed google earth is a lot better than the online version i think

 

[UncleGrumpy]

I prefer the Google earth version of where i live

[john.med]

[UncleGrumpy]

how do you save as a jpg from google earth?

I just did a screengrab and pasted it into a new document in photoshop. But if you press ctrl + s you have the option to save a jpeg - just discovered that.

 

[jeccross]
