you can pretty much search any city in the world and voila there it is in all its natural/synthetic splendour. the resolution is quite unbelievable considering. melbourne from birdseye looks unremarkable to say the least...

thats incredible.. its no doubt that google is gonna take over this earth one day and this is just a tool to help them get around !

How do you see anything?? all i am getting is the world with big green blue contenents. Are you supposed to be able to zoom in alot or is it just a 3d globe or something?? Can some post a screen shot of how its supposed to look.

Thats freakin amazing.

The pictures around my area are about two years old though.....
How do I know? Our backyard has the old pergola we had replaced about 18 months ago...... Kinda freaky that its THAT detailed!

Tommy - on the left of the arrows there is a +- meter, grab the bar between them and zoom in and out. You can also grab and pull your way around.

The regions with extra resolution are amazing... You can see busses and cars.

Hope this gets expanded so I can see all the places I want to in Hi Res.

Hong Kong is quiet nice.
