Still having problems connecting.

Thats because the landsat server is down, which holds the rest of the world! You can only view the us using the usgs server!

Ahh good, the USGS one is working so I can try to find where my mate lives in america!

Have a look on the forums if you are interested, there are a few caches up of northern england.

What forums?

For those doing screen shots - there is an option to save a screen shot (1st menu) and it gives the option to save as a variety of type (bmp,jpg,pgn,etc) - Default is bmp which created a 4.5mb image for me!

Also for colour go into

tools>layer manager>Images>High res>

Once in there uncheck all except USGS urban area ortho-imagery

This gives a more detailed colour view, though seems to use up more cpu.

Heres a view of soldier pier in Chicago, just wanted to show it because its something I know from being there so can feel a bit more about the scale, for instance that boat is about 60m or so and the ferris wheel isn't a huge one.

Also I was thinking, they would only release something like this when they were much much much more advanced, makes you wonder what they can see...

Excellent Image Kliro, Apparently they are able to read the brand on a cigerette being smoked/held!!!

Now why cannot we have access to that and live feeds!?

10-10-2004, 21:22

Live feeds would cost FAR too much money, as they would need to put hundreds of more satelites into space.

That just causes mine to come up with white squares?

Yeah I seem to be able to only get chicago?

10-10-2004, 21:45

Yup, same here.

This was taken in that very high resolution mode at 500 meters!
