*Note: They aren't exactly "satelite photos." The images are taken from low flying planes. tongue.gif

Heh, they may say that, but lots of those are from the Landsat system.

Anyone else find their Tiburon in the picture?

I found mine, and my old excel.


Yup, here is my now deceased Tiburon (silver spot) and my mother's Accent she had at that time (gold spot).



I have a better resolution one at home, taken with KeyHole (before it became GoogleEarth). I'll try to upload it later.

It won't let me use because it can't open in DirectX. What does that mean? How do I turn off DirectX?

this is an awesoem tool for learnign about cities you've never been to. I wish you could use a joystick to roam through cities up close.

Amazing stuff,

lol, go to seattle and filter for coffee houses. HAha, they're EVERYWHERE.
