Title: Wanna See The World?
Post by: RowingPresident on June 02, 2006, 02:27:42 PM

Ever wonder what somewhere in the world looks like?  Then give Google Earth (http://www.pcworld.com/news/article/0,aid,121944,00.asp) a try.  You can get satellite imagery just about anywhere.  Its rather interesting.

I have used that before and it is pretty sweet.  It is weird to be able to see your house from satellite.

Hey thats pretty cool.  It will be really nice if they expand and get more zoom levels in, especially in areas with little zoom.

Someone was saying that the US Gov is trying to get Google to block out certain things that terrorists may use.  I will let you all know if I hear more.

That is interesting, I wonder if Google will give in?
