Chris The Rock Posted July 14, 2005 Report Share Posted July 14, 2005 Anyone play with this yet? (we will take over the) earth.google.com It's friggin awesome. Basically a 3d version of google maps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Camp Posted July 14, 2005 Report Share Posted July 14, 2005 It's pretty damn cool. The sat images appear to be out of date though. Based upon my neighborhood I'd say the images are about 2 years old (though I'm sure different areas are updated at different rates).

Based upon my neighborhood I'd say the images are about 2 years old (though I'm sure different areas are updated at different rates). I agree, the images of my neighborhood appear to be about 18-24 months old, too. The earth is a pretty big place to get all these pictures of, though.

Baiter Posted July 14, 2005 Report Share Posted July 14, 2005 I just get a green screen. :confused: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robot Monkey Posted July 14, 2005 Report Share Posted July 14, 2005 I tried to get it earlier on the Beta to no avail -- today, however, I finally got it! Played around with it a bit and it seems very cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robot Monkey Posted July 14, 2005 Report Share Posted July 14, 2005 I'm sure everyone is aware of Google Labs but here it is again for those of you who missed it: http://labs.google.com/ I like the "graduates" section with stuff like Google SMS.

Mark E Posted July 15, 2005 Report Share Posted July 15, 2005 Fantastic. Could use a few more layers of resolution though, I must say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyberwoo Posted July 15, 2005 Report Share Posted July 15, 2005 Whoa. I looked up my house and was checking everything out and decided to scroll around the neighborhood all the way to my parents house which is 5 blocks away. And there is my truck in their driveway. Cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce B Posted July 15, 2005 Report Share Posted July 15, 2005 Downloaded it the other day. The satellite picture of my home must be over 3 years old because I put an addition on my house in the winter of 2002 and the picture doesnt show it. Still extremely cool. Might be cool if people added to their posting their address so people could check out where their fellow LCVGers are at. Mine is Berti Lane, Cheshire,Massachusetts. If you look at mine its the long driveway with a truck parked next to the house. There is an addition there now with a garage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PoisonJam Posted July 15, 2005 Report Share Posted July 15, 2005 I guess I'm safe from our new robot overlords, because most of CT is just a green blur. I can see my wife's office building in New Haven pretty well, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
