Be good to hear the linkie about Google Earth.

Ta,

Not the hardest of jobs to pop it into a search engine, but here you go:

http://earth.google.com/

Ha ha ha. Oh dear.

Slight misunderstanding...

Does anyone use google earth ?

[Console]

I would like to use it, but I don't have an OS it can run on, either at home or at work.

[Mafro]

I use it, it's great for messing around with when you are bored.

[Quincy]

its ok fun for a bit to find your house but thats it really. what purpose does it serve other than for general dossing around

[Console]

There are quite a few things that have already be done with google Earth, for example:-

Ants unearthed with Google Earth

Google Earth Used to Find Ancient Roman Villa

[David]

I think I have found it...

[David]

and just to add, Google Earth has got my location in very great detail *...



* great if you compare it to that of the detail in a ZX Spectrum.

[Gaspode_The_Wonder_Dog]

can you not make them bigger and more annoying?

[kendra k]

indeed.

[David]

they are just about the right size to show how great detail the second one is... I suppose I could have, but I couldnt be arsed.
