I found it wouldn't accept my card details when I entered my Visa Delta card. It said I either didn't have enough money in my account, or I had entered my details wrong. My details were correct, so I was rather worried as I *should* have had thousands of pounds in the account. Checked with the Bank and the account balance is correct, so I can only assume they don't accept debit cards.
Went through first time when I switch to a credit card.

Re: Google Earth?
 Found the street I used to live in when I was 7 in London.I even found the woods/park that I used to play in.Found the right road for my school but no school.
I suspect that every educational establishment bar one in my life have been knocked down...

Well, the photos do seem a lot clearer. Also, if you print them, the Paid version will download higher than screen resolution images (if they are available).
You can also hook it up to a GPS device (although I have no GPS device, so have no use for this).

Re: Google Earth?
You can also clearly see The Statue of Liberty, Golden Gate Bridge, Niagara falls, The Eiffel Tower, Buckingham Palace, Kennedy Space Center, WDW Orlando, the Indy 500 track and even the Hollwod Sign to name but a few. Getting it to find them can be hit and miss but if you know roughly where they are you can often close the area down and then find it by eye.
