Re: Google Earth - Strange locations
*bump*
Why are the north and south poles not visualized on google earth? Presumably there are satellite images of those locations......:dunce: |
Re: Google Earth - Strange locations
High altitude pictures of white snow and ice... Probably not a lot to see...
Hom3r owes me a new keyboard after I clicked on the google earth link for area 51 |

Re: Google Earth - Strange locations
Probably because the planes the companies use to do the mapping are not suitable to go over the poles..

Re: Google Earth - Strange locations
Is it not done by satellite?
|
Re: Google Earth - Strange locations
To some extent, but for close up stuff, they use planes (AFAIK)
|
Re: Google Earth - Strange locations
Fair nuff, but if they can't fly planes over the north pole then use satellite data.
Take a look, it's really strange how google earth just stops at a radius of 823 km from the south pole. |

Perhaps Superman doesn't want his Fortress Of Solitudeâ„¢ photographed? ;)
