Does anyone tried this?

What is it and is it good/bad and worth it?

 

[Bat Attack]

It is awesome, you should try it.

 

[Binker]

Is it real?

 

[Bat Attack]

Do you even know what it is?

 

[black_dust]

Is it real? well yeah we didn`t all imagine it

Its a load of shots taken from space over a period of years then stuck into that programme, some places have hi-res crystal clear pictures (like paris and new york city) and some places have crappy low res pictures (like my house) its a very cool thing to mess about with download it! (works best with high speed conections)

 

[Bat Attack]

Yeah, all of the pictures of my house are so low res that it looks like a tie-dye shirt.

God where do you live. The pics of my house are crystal clear ( I live in the Cleveland area ), and the college I attend is crystal clear too.

And then there is NYC. For those of you that live there, you can make the buildings look 3-D. There is enough tools essentially for somebody to plot another terrorist attack.

 

[Binker]

Ok, can I use it to what somebody is doing at the building?

 

[Bat Attack]

I live in the middle of nowhere in Vermont.

I think it is the neatest thing in the world, you can zoom in on your house and see your pool.

 

[Superman]

I have it and it's very cool. Get it if you can.

 

[Spider-Gamer]

I have it and it's very cool. Get it if you can.

I have to agree!

The pics of my area are terrible. I can sort of figure out where the race track is and thats it

 

[Immortalfire]

I followed the scan across Georgia, found Six Flags and zoomed in to the Batman ride. Clear as crystal.

 

[Erundur]

[The Hurricane]
