Hi Kenny,

Try this one as it doesn't require any software DL.

Just watch the dates on the zoom as some change to very old pictures. Our County planning & zoning uses this to track property changes.

HI Kenny,

I dunno, maybe I'm too dumb to use it or something. Anything less than 'bout 25,000 ft is awfully blury.

Yea, must be really old photos like my place.
Try "bagdad iraq" at 1500 feet and tilt it a little, then scrool for fly by. Pretend your droping bombs.

I must be doing something wrong! I have DSL - all I have EVER gotten is a green fuzzy picture. Can't even make out anything in town (barely make out the town!)! I'm just west of Tecumseh NE. Don't know the lat/long.

Actually - I THINK I'm at 40-21-16.43 / 96-14-02.42. The satellite with the good camera must not fly over my place!

Hey Galen, just remembered, it warned that some video cards don't work, if you get a complete washout-could be that. Sorry. To test, scroll from North America over to mid east and then zoom in on Bagdad. Some places in US are great, like Kansas City, and some are terible, like my farm and Allan's.

Vietnam memorial and an air strip, ski run??? Give it time, some times it takes a while to get the detail downloaded Some times the search get lost.the whole world you know.
First time I tried for tecumseh, it took me some where in Kansas. Take it over to close where you want and then search.
