The resolution for some places is much, much better than for other places because the picture of the Earth is put together from many different satellite photos like a patchwork quilt. My house is near Wright Patterson Air Force base. The photo is so grainy, however, that you can't even tell that my house is a house at all. The air force base, however, shows the parked cars in the off-limits areas in great detail.

I like looking at U.S. military bases to see what can be seen. Surprisingly you can see a lot. Nellis AFB near Las Vegas has a bunch of planes out. Oh! The aircraft "graveyard" at Davis Monthan AFB has HUNDREDS of planes, old and newer, sitting around waiting for whatever.

Well I guess what I ment was you can go 3D with the views, alot of it is still 2D but before you couldn't go from a birds eye-view to the tilt down/tilt up view. If you get the angle right and you make the earth move quick it looks something like your flying in a Blackbird. _______________ Free Tibet! Click this link,and learn Here too |

Does anybody know if the pay version has higher resolution pictures? Do a search for Benoye, Chad. I spent a year there, and it's in Google Earth, but the picture is extremely grainy--you certainly can't find the house I lived in. The town had about 16 bars--not bad for a village with a population under 4,000 --but none of them show up when I click the thingy to show bars.Check out the Threemile Island picture--awesome detail of the nuclear facility there. _______________ My signature is only one line.
