Google Earth...

rt


When Dick Garvey asked if the magnification on google earth program that we put a link into in a below article could be made clearer, I thought that what you see is what you get and it is, sort of.


Today we decided to look at a more populated area. We flew G Earth to Portland and it showed fine detail down to the smallest cars. So the more populated the area the better the resolution. We later investigated places we used to live and found that the maps are not an upto date thing but pictures residing in the past but recent enough to show the current lay of the land.


We suggest you fly to an area of high population and have a look. Kewell. Try Portland for instance.
