Google Earth

mjr600

Totally free and amazing, the entire globe available to view at your fingertips, most major cities in hi-res.

You'll need a newish PC, broadband and a decent graphics card.

The forum has links to load of places worth a visit, see if you can find your house................

Great programme though!

"Google Earth downloads temporarily delayed

Thanks for your interest in Google Earth, but we're sorry we can't offer you a download right now. As you know, Google Earth is in beta, and we're still building out our ability to take on new users. We're making good progress, and expect to be able to accept new downloads shortly, so we recommend you check back daily at earth.google.com. We hope to be able to welcome you and other new planet surfers soon.

We appreciate your patience,

The Google Earth Team
