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 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. |
