Too lazy to go outside your front door to see your house?? use this!:

Dunno if anyone has used it before - heard about it through uni few weeks ago - is quite fun, can zoom in anywhere in the world!

It is really good. But you need a good graphics card to get the most out of it

yeah ive got it! but the map of liverpool is quite old at least 2 years

Dave · Posted: Mon Dec 05, 2005 7:44 pm Post subject:

oh Holy Satan no! not two years!

Sarcasm aside I saw it on some gadget show where he zoomed in to Trafalgar Square and it does look really good but seeing as the computer I'm using now is older than electricity itself, I'll have to wait

It's longer than two years - at least five! The Asda smithdown Road is just a field on that map - unless I was looking at the field next to it

Pft old news, I've been using Google Earth to track down the nearest supermarkets and stuff for weeks. :-p

The best places to look at are Manhattan Island and Colorado River View.

The NASA version of that google map is better cause its live from a satellite and if you zoom in really close you can see things happening right that minute, like I made my dad go outside and wave to the sky and you could see it on the screen.
