A new toy from Google.

Fly around the globe and zoom...

I've been having so much fun with this for the past few days.

I live in a small town with population 15k or so.
But it has detailed streets etc. and streetnames.
And the location was perfect and everything.

It's incredible.
I also calculated the distance between my house and school, and got the school's phone number etc etc

it's so amazing

You can download it from here:

Anybody want to send this to me?

Looks cool.

I can still download it, even if it doesn't work for me.

Dang .. they aren't accepting anymore downloads due to it still being in beta and obviously upgrading their servers to cope with the traffic. :(

Would be good if you could see other users flying around :)

I've just flown from the Pyramids to Sawbridgeworth (if they are still open!): [URL]http://www.hmmm.ip3.co.uk/earth.shtml[/URL]

The original before I optimised it is slightly clearer.
Depending where you are (in the world) you get either a half decent image or just a blur...

I heard from space you can see a big Google stamp on the planet.

Installed it, but I can't login to their servers :(
