HI HENRYS HOW ARE YOU?
i have used it just to see how it works and it look sok from a distance but when you zoom in too much it is like a bad computer game.

Microsoft do one similar but it has better detail when you zoom in close.

it depends on where you are.
i can zoom right into my terrace in tenerife about 200 feet above still pretty clear.
some areas havent got that good a coverage though.

It's great! I can zoom right in on my friends house in the States, the in-laws house in the Cotswolds and a friends house in Lancashire. Unfortunately the village where I live hasn't yet got hi-definition.

hi henrys.

i dont use google. i dont think its as good as the microsoft one.
havent got a link, but its called "virtual earth" i think.
in some areas of the country, you can zoom in real close and rotate the image through north, east, south and west.

Google Earth is much easier to use, and in the little area I have been lookinag at the photos are much more up to date. The Microsoft one for that area has pictures taken before autumn 1999! I can tell from what has been built since.
