First impression is WOW!

I like the way it animates zooming in to a location.

I found that today, but cant install it. I will have to go somewhere I can, cause that looks just dang cool. Its based on the Google Maps idea, and bought from the same company, so I suspect its something like that. And thats awesome that its free. Too bad the "Plus" version or whatever is $400!

COOL much cooler that http://maps.google.com

The "plus" version is $20. It's the professional/commercial "Pro" version that's $400.

Hey no kidding
is this Virtual , or Reality /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif
check out the 3d pic

if you have some major computer, and a descent connection and some spare space, and lots of time, it might be worth checkin out.

have "maps" sligtly evolved

here is a online server that is pretty good, without having to download anything.
some of the stuff is YEARS old, but the urban flyovers are newer.

like take a shot like this, and you can see how many kids they have, if you zoom in by clicking /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
Click to zoom further, till your in thier back window

VERY cool

Reminds me of USAPhotoMaps. Which is also free, does areial photos and topo.

Wow, awesome. The pic of my neighborhood is a few years old though.

Hey Pablo,

I visited BA in late 2001. It was fun trying to find some of the landmarks. The only one I found for sure was the big park next to the Presidential Residence, the "Pink House" if I remember correctly.

I put place marks at the lat/long you gave and I think the Hotel I stayed in was pretty close to where you work. I don't remember the name right now and couldn't find my papers from the trip. To return the favor. Here's my location:

47 41' 42" N
122 18' 43" W

As for the other web sites and programs, all I have to say is TRY THIS ONE!

As for the virtual reality buildings, that is a selectable layer you can add. If you don't turn it on then it is simply the satellite picture. But even the satellite view is in really good 3D. Check out Mount St. Helens for example. They give it to you as a supplied place mark.

FANTASTIC - Havin' a lot of fun zooming in my extended families houses all over the world! Thanks for posting that...the Google folks are certainly making a name for themselves!

Great find! Thanks! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Hong Kong Disneyland is just slightly North-East from my home.. Look for "Penny's Bay", with the light brown patch of earth that looks like a lot of construction. This picture was probably taken about a year or so ago since Hong Kong Disneyland will be open in September this year. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

To be precise, Hong Kong Disneyland is at:
22°18'43.32"N
114° 2'28.07"E

This program is AMAZING.

Please enjoy an aerial tour of my beloved Buenos Aires
(download the file and open in it in Google Earth, a 2click is enough if you have it already installed)


Pablo

Great program Google! Love it!

It's so cool. But it's a little out of date. It shows the orange sandbox that's been gone for 2+ years. It also shows my old church that was turned into a parking lot 4 years ago. Still, it's awesome.

"Downloads are delayed" try again later /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/Christo_pull_hair.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif

Try these links:
http://desktop.google.com/download/earth/GoogleEarth.exe

or

http://desktop.google.com/download/earth/GoogleEarthPlus.exe


and just in case the provided link for Buenos Aires doesn't work, try this link (their bbs also suffers from SQL errors /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif )

I think they've shut down their distribution of beta copies of Google Earth. My friends also can't use my installer to create working Google Earth applications on their machines (can't log into the Google Earth servers). Says maybe check back later...

now that is just plain mean :-( there i was flying across america , in full living color with textures, hills and full resolution. then i had to go back to a backup, and re-download it, and boom, no more free party :-( :-(

so i think well how much is it to buy anyways?
and i look at the BUY page, and they stopped selling licences, AND it says this
""Note: Free trials of Google Earth Plus are no longer available. ""
dont know exactally what that means , but i was RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE of doing some gps location mapping (for hiking) and Doggonit.

Mine's still working...you mean they've stopped distribution of the free version?
