"I might even fork over a dollar or two for these improvements. They have something revolutionary on their hands and they need to focus on this software. What do you guys think ?

Erm High Definition images are being sourced and added almost daily. Google Earth is in its' infancy at the moment and will surely improve greatly over the next 12 months but the biggest problem at the moment for Google is sourcing the necessary high res images that they need and incorporating them into the tool.

I'll say..At the moment I'm trying to get DEM terrains to be able to convert via 3DEM to useable data to use in programs like Bryce and Terragen.Let me tell you that it's damned hard getting good resolution anything that represents the world,moon,Mars or anywhere else in this universe.Well not that you don't have to pay for..Free and high res is hard.

Thanks Paul.I did think it might be summat about conserving water but as there were no clues around the area I wanted to be sure.

I would have guessed at them being in Israel.....they are good at that sort of thing there apparently....

Anyone else noticed that the resolution of some of the satellite images is now down to 3" per pixel - simply stunning!

Try Las Vegas where you can see people lying round the pools:

Heh, I like the aerial view of the car parks... You can see where there are spaces whilst the people on the ground were driving round aimlessly
