I find this to be a lot of fun. It is like going on vacation without ever leaving the house. When you find where you want to look, click the satalite button and you can see a really clear picture. I found my childhood home. That is how clear and close you can zoom in.
Google Maps
I'm having a lot of fun. If you know of a cool city, post it here, I enjoy looking at different areas with this thing.
Check this one out once.......

dude totally. i love this feature. i've spent a lot of time mapping places i want to go on vacation to. this is so much fun.
have you guys tried out Google Earth... its fuggin nuts
ya, google earth is much better
I've been getting into Celestia lately. It's a simulation of outer space where you can visit the different planets and stars and asteroids and shit and see what it all looks like out there. It's awesome.
I can see myself having some fun with that. I just downloaded the main program but see that there are a bunch of add-ons. I will play around with that later. It looks very cool.Quote:

That space progarm appears to be a pain in the ass to install the add-ons. The damn FAQ tells me to drag things into the correct location, but my Mac keeps saying the file cannot be moved there.
Why can't anything be simple?
this thing is creepy, i can totally make out my room mates car.
i used google earth to narrow down the search of finding a good place to grow some outdoor beauties. works good make sure theres no civilization around and its a good spot.
Is this a joke...?
Is what, the above poster searching for a place to grow with it, or the actually goolgle map site?Quote:
