Kind of a google earth really.
Thing I liked about this was the level of detail for places in this country.
I can zoom in very close to my house, see my car on the drive etc.
Tried a few places like Paris etc and the level of detail isn't as good, but seems to be good for the UK. |

I have beta tested this for years, it is way better than most others.
Please go to major cities in the states and try the "birds eye view" it is really cool
FYI this has other nice features as well. ____________________ "You don't know the power of the dark side." |

Its pre-2000 in the ariel photos as a place I worked at in Peterlee in 2001 hasn't been built and the old Gogar hospital in Edinburgh hasn't been knocked down. Looking at Edinburgh its clear the pics have been taken in August as its sunny and the grandstands are up in the Casle for the Tattoo. ____________________ paul. |

I can safely say the photographs were taken on 07/08/2001 - it was my wife's 32nd Birthday.
If you look closely you can see the bunting hung around the trees in my back garden, the Fiesta wrapped in a big red bow parked on the drive, her long lost brother Derek hiding behind the dustbin with Cilla Black stood next to him about to squawk 'Surprise Surfockinprise' when the missus opens the door, Smoke from the BBQ spelling out 'Happy Birthday' in white clouds and her dad taking a piss in the fish pond - A good day was had by all. ____________________ Mellow Yellow

Please see my earlier post to prove that Steve H is talking tosh
The Peterlee and Edinburgh pics are pre-2000, and SilvaRizla you are quite right in the fact that it would have taken them a while to photograph the entire UK (although Northern Ireleand seems not to have high res photos). ____________________ paul. |

Old Thread Alert!
