Has anyone out there used Google Earth where you can check out what anywhere in the world looks like? One of the most awesome things ever made.

[Gaviano]

Kinda messes with your head a bit when you first use it. I got a bit of motion sickness or something. Nearly fell off the couch.

[DemonHorse]

It is good, but not the most up to date. Try Flashearth.

[Sidders]

I used to make aerial photographs for a living. After doing that it's quite dull.

[Loudmouthed_Cutie]

the famous places are really clear but try to find your house and its all fuzzy

[Gaspode_The_Wonder_Dog]

my house is a factory on it.

[Sidders]

Google Moon is better.

It's been around for quite a while Zenon, I'm surprised you've not mentioned it before.


Incidently if you view Father Ballbag's house, you can see him laying on a hammock in the garden.

With the new Internet Explorer I installed recently came a Maps feature, I'm sure it doesnt compare to some that have already been mentioned, the zoom-ins are grainy at best, I found my residence and a few others and did a screen grab. I dont think the picture it gave me was Live, infact this thread makes me realise I really should upgrade if I want to find out what the neighbourhoods up to.

[Sidders]

None of it's going to be live! Imagine the implications of that!

[foot-loose]

it would be cool though!

[David]

The Human Rights folk would have a field day...

[Matt and his mini]

i like how the moon is made of chease on google moon

[foot-loose]

Do you really thought that You can position a satelite above your neighbours house and check them out live with your Internet Explorer Plugin?

You just been watchin Little Britain?

[SAV1OUR]

You just been watchin Little Britain?

Well, ah say if ye ask me on.... Nah, just got the comic relief one sadly though the flute scottish fella couldnt make it, very underrated sketch I reckon.

[foot-loose]

that one always irritated me!

What about you? Surely that sack of yours is visible from space?

They didn't even have Lou and Andy on the comic relief live one...

[foot-loose]

no? The live dvd is worth a watch.

The show was also worth a watch, but that could be hard now.

[Ballbag]

You would have thought so, I imagine that I was probably indoors, which is a shame.


It makes you wonder though, how often you appear in google earth, and where abouts. If I get a bored Sunday afternoon, I might scower the entire thing and see whereabouts I can be found.

Like and uber difficult Where's Wally............ where's ballbag.

[SAV1OUR]

no? The live dvd is worth a watch.

The serious bit of the DVD is very m-m-moving *sniff*

Lenny Henry at the end tells me "If you saw them in real life you'd say here have a quid, just have it - no, take 5 quid even.."

So moving.

Thats 2 pints worth I'd have been parting with *breaks down*

But I'm like most people I have to be getting something in return for my cash giving and giving full stop is a bit yawn-a-riffic.

[foot-loose]

Ive not seen the Comic Relief version, only the official live DVD that I got for Christmas.
