Damn All I have is high res of trees the house has not been built yet, so the image is at least 2 years old, its clear though, I can easily see the road markings.. Ill have to wait for the next update . but suppose clear skies goes both ways,,, ...
Oh and according to google earth 17.35.3 S 145.34.4 E. point of interest thats about 3km from where I really are according to GPS, so its not bad really...
Very kind of you people to show exactly where your valuable scopes are kept.. Is this not a bit risky?
Google Earth is awesome, way bettet than the old Nasa worlwind. I have been using GE and maps.google.com to give people directions etc.
Also they have added a street map overlay at maps.google.com for Australia, so you can see the names of the roads etc. Soon it will do directions. Has anyone been able to get these road maps to come up in GE, it does this for US but not for Australia. Also the magnification of GE can go higher than map.google.com
