Holy crap, this is the most awesomest thing I've ever seen.

US cities only. They have to drive big trucks around with scanning equiptment to obtain the data or something.
 
How big is the download? It says size unknown.

LOL, I was born in a hospital the shape of a swastika :p. It was built during WWII I think and It's in Poland, so that answers any questions you may have :p
 
about 10mb.

anyway, my house can't be found, too little res.

and they spelled "Seoul" as "Soul". Idiots.
 
This is really good, i got nice pictures of all my friends houses, my gfs, mine, my school and college, my grand parents house etc...so good! Much better than that NASA one which took me like 2 hours to download on dsl.

Argh, my house is like 300 meters from the line where everything becomes very blurry (I live in the suburbs).
 
*fumes*

I can't believe prgrams like this, this happens all the time... I zoom into Scotland and the first city name that appears is Glasgow. Whatever happened to Edinburgh being the CAPITAL CITY OF SCOTLAND and all???? That doesn't appear until you zoom in further.

I'm from Edinburgh by the way.

You have some SERIOUS problems if that makes you angry.

Tell me... is Glasgow larger than Edinburgh? If so, that's the reason.
 
I told my Geography teacher about this today and we spent a happy lesson fiddling around with it rather than doing any work.
 
yeah great program, and the funny thing is still in beta version. LOL

Hey, is this program better than world wind?

http://worldwind.arc.nasa.gov/

I'm downloading that now. Its nearly 200 megabytes! 200 megabytes means it should be good! lol

I asked that earlier, no one seems to have said. Was really big, and quite a resource hog too, uninstalled it after a while. Needs a beefier computer most likely.
 
Googlemaps can get closer into big cities, but I prefer Worldwind generally

Aye, plus it only seems to load half of Edinburgh. I can't seem to find the Gyle. :|

And it has every town in East Lothian. Except the one I live in. :|

Other than that though, this has kept me amused a good couple of hours. :D
 
Does anyone notice how in alaska, it still looks like there is an oil spill in the waters?
 
Its a pretty cool program. Too bad my area is not in high-resolution.
 
That doesn't beat the awesomness of the search button! :)
