I know......that is the best software I've seen in a long time. Plus it's free!!! I messed with it for hours when I got it.

It's pretty cool, the quality of the US images is so much better than over here, my uncle managed to work out which cars were parked in his drive in Wisconsin 2 years ago. But MS's Virtual Earth has MUCH higher resolution images. Other than the cool rotate in 3D thing, and less screen flicker, I think MS has gone one up long term.

Yeah, but virtual earth is the same thing as google maps. The 3D thing is what makes google earth so much fun. Plus you can toggle a whole slew of different land marks in the list of check boxes off to the left in google earth. I really like that you can skew (instead of facing straight down) the view and see the elevations of moutains and canyons and stuff.

The 3D building in SF and a couple of other places is pretty cool, reminds me of the Spiderman 2 game

US is better (but that's understandable being a Google thing) tho Portugal is absolutely stunning 2.. I can see my own motorcicle parked in front of my house!
This kind of detail holds me for countless ages browsing the globe..
I'm stunned!
Nice to see I wasn't the first to get this... I sure won't be the last..
