It's a great programme to have on yer computer, takes a while to download but it's just brilliant looking at places all over the world, plus that globe is just amazing.

How cool would it be if it was in real-time? I mean you could zoom in and see people walking on the street, going about their daily business...

NASA has satellites that powerful. It's a pity privacy laws may restrict it being available to the general public...

It's a simulation of Earth basically.  That would rule if it was live.  I wonder why you can't see people in GoogleEarth? hmmm

Yeah the aerial pic of my street must've been taken in 2003 cos it shows a large grassed area which is now built on, you can even see the well trodden path people used to short cut over the land!!

The aerial picture of my house is rather recent because you can see my sister's car in the driveway.

You don't have to answer if you don't want to for privacy reasons, but what town/city do you live in?  I want to try to find your house on GE.

I know isn't it amazing, my friend said he could see his van parked on the drive! but I find it all this very fascinating that the technology is there to creates sites like that.

Sorry, I said that in a creepy way  ;D  I just want to experience "going" somewhere virtually, that is, know the full power of GE.  I'm a 16-year old in Oregon without a car, I assure you I don't want to break into your house  ;D

Newcastle and Sunderland are on close-up and the areas are for all to see in detail.

Google Earth coverage of New Zealand is crap. The closest I got was a very poor, undetailed image.

Here is a local (cropped) image of my neighbourhood from a local site. Detail is poor as its black and white.

If you are really desperate, you can go here and download a fulsize image (warning: filesize is over 4MB): http://www.linz.govt.nz/rcs/linz/pub/web/root/core/Topography/AerialAndOrthophotos/OrthophotoIndex/apM35/index.jsp

The last time I looked, Google Earth portrayed a very blurry Spanish Fort, Alabama.

Alot of rural areas receive quite poor coverage, and you can't scroll down on many regional towns.

here is my street. the single one moving west to east in the center.
the large biulding is the sewage treatment plant.
ohhhh pretty!

This is the last thing I'm doing tonight!  So there's the office building w/ the three segments to it.  My house is about halfway down the block on the street just to the west of that.  So when I sit out on my back porch there's this big hill of open space and the office building on top of the hill.  At night it's lit up and once in awhile an office light is on.  (perhaps I need to get binoculars and become a peeping tom!  ;D)  Anyway, here it is.

So I open up GooglEarth from my desktop and it told me it needs to update the files.  Having updated the bloody thing won't open at all.  It just keeps giving me the InstallShield Wizard.  >:(

My GooglEarth still shows the old Wembley Stadium.

My house isn't on Google Earth.  I was going to show where I worked.  I think I know why it's not working on my machine.  I'll have to log off and restart my machine and fiddle with it some more I reckon.

I have no idea why it won't now work on my machine

Here is my home area, West London.

Is your area, in a section that you cannot get in close?

Just the whole programme has stopped working on my machine.  I guess I could just browse the site and save a link.

Yu can also see the same on Google Maps

Just enter your postcode, the map will appear, but do click on Satellite for the aerial view.

Here is where I just moved to.  The house under the placeholder  :)

Ooh in detail huh?? wonder if the satellite will pick up loose roof-tiles and such?

Certainly tell if the house has a swimming pool in the back garden.

I so hate this thread now because I can't join in

Out of curiosity, I had a look at Heathrow Airport, and it still shows Concorde at Terminal 4.

This is where I live.....until Monday.

I was actually referring to the solar eclipse a few weeks ago.  Some JW's apparently predicted that the world would end that day.  But your reason is rather sweet.

Really!  I'm trying to think where Concorde was then carted off for her retirement.

It must had been October/November 2003, I remember being at work and not been able to get to the flight path in time.

Yes, I do live right next to the 1904 World's Fair  :)

What happens Monday ?


My house will self destruct. :D

Actually, I will be moving to Goldsboro, NC.

Supposedly my house would be in the center of this picture.

Are you anywhere near the WACA?

Where exactly is that? I know Perth city like the back of me hand yet I can't quite place the photo. Is it around Highgate/near the Northbridge tunnel?

The WACA's in East Perth, near the Causeway...

this technology is alittle scary, I mean think what terrorists could do with it :o ;D

I'm sure they already have far more advanced satellites scanning the surface of the earth. They can probably spy inside your house, and watch you as you read this!

They wouldn't spy on me, I'm not that interesting ;D

I wonder when they're going to update the photos..

Soon I hope, for the available images are over two years old already.

Are you anywhere near the WACA?


Here is a map Philip - I am about 2km northwest of the WACA - I can see its lights from some of my windows when there is a night cricket match on.

...and hear the roar of the crowd?

On Google Earth the WACA seems to be set up for a concert.

Fairly sure I havent heard the crowds - but when Kiss played there I definately heard sounds and could clearly see the strobes and fireworks. Concert wise I have seen Fleetwood Mac and Meat Loaf play at the WACA in recent years. They set the stage up on the field in the lower quarter of the field and the audience sat in a quarter of the stands and on the field in rows of chairs. Hmmm does that explain it ? its not like Wembley where the stage is at one end and all the stands and field are filled with crowd. I drew a basic pic in paint - hope it makes sense.

I also have a soccer stadium (not a big one) a couple of streets east of me and can hear the roar of the crowd from that one - and when Tom Jones and Pavarotti played there recently (separately !) I could hear the gigs quite clearly.

As long the wickets are not trampled on.

They used to play footy at the WACA, til it got too small. I don't know why the government's considering building a newfangled stadium in Cockburn or thereabouts, when they have a perfectly good second stadium in the WACA. Just needs a huge face-lift/expansion.

It was nothing to do with size actually. It was to do with the contracts put in place when the Eagles first started in the VFL/AFL. When the contracts ended - so did the relationship with the WACA.

Its wasnt built for footy anyway - too round. One kicj out of the centre and the ball was in the goal square. Most players of the late 80s and early 90s hated the ground.

It was built for cricket - and thats all that should be played there.

Yeah, on second thoughts wasn't the ideal ground for Footy. It was in a top location though...ah well.

Do you follow the Eagles or Dockers? Or don't you really give a rats either way?

Google updated their images:  :D
