Yep. It's another one of the great things Google's made. But nonetheless, yer behind!  ;)

 

 

well unfortunately google has totally mucked it up..this is actually a demo that Microsoft put out a long time ago to prove that SQL 7 could handle a terrabyte of data...when google got their hands on it they took away a ton of functionality and made ya pay for it :( been around...for..hmm...gotta be at least 8 years now

 

but none-the-less is still coo!

Interesting Caesar. I've never had to pay to use it though? Or do you mean there is a pay version with more info? I do GIS based stuff quite a bit at work, the amount of data that goes into something like that is just amazing.

 

Anyway, yeah, I used google earth to find the hotel for FF last year. Mapquest kept coming up with two different addresses when I typed in the address from the hotel website. So I put it in google earth and panned until I found the hotel. Kinda handy.

Haha...

 

I'd seen it before but never used it, until Justin told me that he could see his buddy's truck in a pic. Thought I'd check it out after that.

 

Used it to locate a client's house today. That was neat.
