It's incredible, I agree.

Even CNN uses it during broadcasts.

The only thing that stinks about google earth, is that the USA seems to be the only place you can get great detail on zoom ins

Brutus, I have yet to see a Google earth shot with people in it. Cars yes, people no.


They either have software that does it or they do it manually. Thing that I hated was trying to close in on Sri Lanka, made me think google earth is worthless. It really is only good for surfing USA. Some things never change.
