I thought that it may be intresting to get an idea of where in the World our Siliconhell friends live.
I have attached a Google Maps that indicates my location note that they must be zipped before you can attach them in the Forum ;-) | ||||||||

Google Earth is great, but the images have been updated.
The USAF site at RAF Fairford used to have an image of a U2 spy plane on the apron, but it is now gone !!! The great CIA flight debate.... just have a look at Prestwick and tell me why there are StageCoach buses around the USAF planes ? Anyway another one that is out there is from Microsoft. h**p://local.live.com Some areas have a 'birds-eye view' down to 25m ! Give a go and see. Again it is in Beta so don't expect everything to be there. Use the scroll on the mouse to zoom in/out and left click and drag the map around. Daz | ||||||||

I downloaded the latest version of Google Earth today. It looks and runs much better.
The map of my location is still quite a few years old though  | ||||||||

hxxp://local.live.com
has been updated for the uk. most place now have 'birds eye view'. The picture quality for my house is much better than GoogleEarth. I think it depends on where you live to which site is best. | ||||||||
