Heyup

Who used Google Earth?

Is playing around with it a bit, want to check out some stuff... it works great.

 

[LandyMan]

Yeah, Google Earth is a very impressive tool, and nice to play around with

 

[Xenophon]

If you don't have the knack of it, then it's easy to get lost.

First zoom in then try to pinpoint landmarks.

Then zoom in closer, pinpoints some more landmarks and so on...

Cities look different from the top, and open grasslands/forests - you get hopelessly lost.

Set your cache as high as you can - no point continuously downloading the same areas.

Shut who down, google earth?

 

[Shake&Bake]

Shut who down, google earth?

yes rex - but that was some time back. If anything was going to come of it, it would've happened already, so I think they're safe!

To me the planes on the apron look like BUFFs (B52's)

There are interesting things all over the island

 

[thedutchman]

well whatever those planes are, its still really weird that an airbase is in the middle of nowhere
