This thing is badass. if u got dsl/cable, the dl is less than 5 min and just install and bam. You can view any place on earth super close and rotate and view buildings and see landmarks and crap. Its freakin awesome. Since I'm from tampa, I took a pic of raymond james stadium super zoomed in. Note: some places that arent populated much wont come in as clearly as this, however, most places come in just fine. Check out the grand canyon, sears tower, or eifel tower. Its badass.

 

UPDATE: I took a pic of fenway park also

 

*bump* because you effers need to check it out.

 

thanks man..... I've been playing with that thing for the past 3 hours!

 

Cool will have to check that out.

 

Its definitely kick ***. As long as you have a decent graphics card and I think windows 2000 or xp, I dont think it runs on ME. And yes, it can keep you hooked for hours.

 

I've been checking out satellite imagery websites for a few years now. They have improved a lot since I first checked it out. Updated imagery takes a while for whole world mapping. And to think, some people don't want to increase the budget for Nasa projects. I say give them more money, and lets launch a new satellite with better camera's. :blob5:

 

Check this out. You can see when the space station is gonna fly over head in your area. If you never seen it before, it's eerie looking as hell. It's soaring overhead at 17,500 mph. and you can watch it for at least 4 or 5 mins. Big white dot just cruisin from horizon to horizon. Just look at where it's supposed to enter your viewing space and with no clouds overhead go out and watch it. It is either at dusk or dawn BTW
