Google is so great, it needs to be posted over and over again!

btw, whats the file size?

i tried to get this, it installed, but it keeps trying to connect to the net for some reason, then it says something like 'sorry, not today old chap!'  ???

It uses the internet to buffer the image. It keeps the main size down

I do now  :P

btw I found area 51: 115 49'00"W 37 14'00"N

not very detailed though, I've looked at NAS Oeana, MCAS Mirramar and been able to ID specific aircraft types same for Glasgow Airport however RAF Leuchars and the northern end of Glasgow are exeptioanlly blurry to the poit that I can't tell if I'm looking at the apron or the runway  ::)

Was really cool seing my house from space though  8)

the areas that arnt very clear were pictures either taken years ago with low res cameras, or have not yet been given the time for hi-res pictures.

I do have a question about the program.

If I pay them money like they ask me to, will I get a fully detailed map of the planet?
