Google Earth

Grumpy_Old_Duffer

Anyone seen the 'Google Earth' software? It's quiet amazing and another brilliant bit of free software from the great Search Engine experts (couldn't spell s-p-e-c-i-l-i-s-t )

Just type-in "Google Earth", and download.

Won't tell you about it here, just download & try it:xmassign:

There is a google earth thread HERE if you are interested. Lots of peeps have added and there are lots of places of interest to look at.

The only prob I have is that it says all pics are under 3 years old, not true, by looking at my house i can tell it`s more like 10!

Its nearly as good as a tot tom for mapping out road directions. (But not quite.)

Hi
Sounds like a great site but says only works if you R on broadband. Unlucky for some. I'll keep it in mind when I eventually upgrade.

I can see my house! :snow_grin

My old school seems to have lot of construction work though and it was a pretty garden the whole time I was there, so the pics are pretty old (also Leeds City Square looks like a building site).

It'll work if you're not, just be slooooow. It has to download all the pictures as you go along, not tried it on dialup but I imagine it'll be quite painful waiting!

Hi folks,

I love google earth though I don't use it often. Anyone know of a uk based google earth site i.e. forums and user groups as I am thinking of playing around with the .kzm files though I don't have a clue how to get them working!!!!!

Any tips on using uk based .kzm files are very welcome!!!

Yours truely, my fellow earth citizens
