Nothing to do with beer although interesting to play with when your having a brewski. Download the free version of Google Earth. Satellite maps, searches etc. Very Cool!! Just spotted this today. FYI - when you're looking from high up and see little squares/rectangles those are high res images where you can zoom quite close.

I happened to see a car in my driveway that I don't recognize whenever that image was captured...

Holy crapola is that cool. I played with that for about 2 hours last night.

The coolest thing to me was Washington DC.

Good find. I knew about google maps where you could get a satellite image instead of a colored map, but this is the bomb!!!!

Thanks for the link.

I thought it was kind of interesting to go lurking about the streets of Baghdad or Kabul in high res yet not in my old Milwaukee stomping grounds (low res).

I can see the future of GPS with satellite imagery coming round the corner. that'll be hot.

Edit: Guess it already supports gps but have to buy the subscription service

Thanks for this! I've used some website that offers the same thing, but never knew you could get it all free on your pc! It rocks! I love that kinda thing. Couldn't find my car, though. I wonder where I was. And Washington, DC is absolutely the best feature of the whole thing! The detail on the Capitol Buidling is incredible!

When I said DC was the best, I was being sarcastic: I thought the entire city was blurred! I was looking in the wrong spot! D'oh!

I haven't messed with the program yet, but have you searched for "Giza, Egypt"?
