Google earth

[Paradox1]

Wait... I thought Google Earth was like, Old pictures they formed a globe with... you mean its real time?

 

[dyserq]

No, its not real time, just a series of pictures strung together to make a globe, cool if you ask me
Sorry Amorssang for not understanding what i mean, i think it'll be a great idea having a little competiton

 

[Amorssang1]

OK we should do it then...ofcourse, raised awareness would be nice before it happened.

You know what would be fun? A game where people have to search for specific things on google earth and post pics.. Like, who can find the most helipads around the world.

Here's three for...

Helecopters, Ft Cambell, Ky: 36°40'47.33"N, 87°29'20.61"W
Hungarian chopper and gunship farm: 47.0741666894, 17.974494518
Bagram Airbase Afghanistan: 34°57'00.99"N, 69° 15'58E

My experience with google earth was great!! Its interesting looking at some places you hear so much about on the news etc

Then there are some places where you can't even zoom in to look more into detail.

Yeah. Google said they're working on getting as many high-res pics as possible, but satellites only travel over certain areas and certain times which makes it difficult.
