Anyone tried Google Earth yet?

Bit of a bandwidth hog, so it wouldn`t go down too well with you lot who are on capped broadband

Yeah, been using Google Earth (as a gimmick, as I personally haven't found a real use for it yet) for some while.

Didn't get on too well with Google Earth. UK images seemed very blurry zoomed in (USA were much clearer) Might have something to with my system limitations though. P3 700Mhz, 256 Mb!!!

Yeah, there are regular updates available and each time there is more data added. Really amazing being able to zoom in on places like RAF Lakenheath and Mildenhall and seeing F15`s and KC135`s on the hardstands. Even Saddams boat on it`s side in Basrah Harbour.

Well as Jason knows I have used Google earth to do a survey of a particular area of Spain to test it's suitability for a wireless network.
Did you know that it will measure the distance between 2 points for you?
