Are you talking about maps.google.com, or google earth? Maps is allright for getting general directions, but google earth is where its at. I like randomly zooming into some part of the world and cruising around the roads while baked. Good times :thumbsup:

I'll paste these into earth later and see what comes up ;)

[tonyp]

whichever has real pics of earth. i guess that would be google earth.

[Samwhore]

[partyguy420]

dude... when me and my old man were still on good terms... we did the google earth thingy and found his house... and you could see one of us kids out in the back yard... the truck in the front... the VW bug sticking out of the garge, while we were working on it... and the barracuda in the front of the house... and then small truck in front of the house... and the acura integra infront of the house... it was preaty sweet...

[Skink]

Please explain a little better... I am down loading a exe called Google earth,,,Do I need to??? or ndo I just go online to view it??? is there a site that gives the long and lat of places???

[geonagual]

I use google earth when I go on some of my hiking trips. You can plan a trip a lot safer. I utilize coordinates in my life, more than most use their remote control.

google earth is what you need... you can see the entire world...

[IntoTheEther]

I didn't see the giant bug...

And you can use maps.google.com, you just put the coordinates directly into the search box... but Google Earth is a lot better.

[Skink]

Cool,,,I just located my house,,,that was a blast...

The shot has to be like 2 years old cause there is a 2 year old development that is not pictured...

[LIP]

That's cool. My shitty little house in Essex isnt even covered by google earth, although you can see where i work.

[FreeVenice]

over my neighbor hood the picture they have is like a year old. . . I don't know how often they update but I was also shopping for a place in Arizona and the dang place wasn't even built on google earth yet.

[LIP]

How the hell did that bomber get there?

[FreeVenice]

And how old is it? that looks like it needs to be retired.

[benagain]

How the hell did that bomber get there?

I've been wondering that myself. there's a few pics on there that just look photoshopped. I'm not sure how hard it is to hack google earth, but some of them look like they have been.

[LIP]

Wtf?

It would have been in the news... so it cant be real.

[LIP]

Heres one of where i work.

Las Vegas is done in such a fine resolution that you can see individual people. Here is a person standing in a parking lot: 36°10'16.02" N 115°08'19.07" W

What's so weird about the bomber? It was just flying over a neighborhood in Huntingdon. You know, the military does like to fly its planes around sometimes, and they won't take pains to avoid flying over your house. Keep in mind these are not all satellite pictures; a lot of the finer areas are done with airplane photography. This is just a photo that happens to have a lower-flying plane in its view.

[Maui Wowie]

Look at the Seals one, they all look dead. :(

[Metaphor]

on google earth theres so many trees on my block nd in the neighborhood, its kinda messed up too see how many got knocked down.

Pardon my stupidity, i'm stoned and the idea of it capturing flying planes completely escaped my brain. I thought the bomber was stationary on the ground, inbetween all the houses LOL. I dont know how that would have happened, it couldnt have been towed there and it couldnt have crashed.

Anyway, i think that planes been decomisioned from the RAF. If it has it's not RAF flying it.

[Oneironaut]

Well, didn't the plane seem a little...big? I mean, not very many people have houses that are only a fraction of the size of a bomber. :p

Not at the time, now i can see it, although we've got some damn big planes over here. Especially the older bombers. Bigger than ya would think.

When i was a lad i was in Air Cadets which is like training for the RAF. I've been flying in all sorts of aircraft, stupidily fast jets and hurculeses... and then we have helis like chinooks.

[berny]

Apart from it being a bloody big plane, judging by the 4 propellers. I would like to think its at least a couple of hundred feet above the house, so yea perspective, would sort of explain the size difference.
