Google Earth

Has anyone else downloaded this yet? Was just having a bit of a play with it - it's very impressive, if you've got the graphics hardware and bandwidth to keep up with it.

2005 Range Rover Sport TDV6 SE Bonatti Grey

I've just been playing with this. I'm amazed at this. I zoomed right up onto friends/family houses and even cars on their drives. It's a pitty that most of our village isn't available in detail. Matt

We muck around with it over here too but, unfortunately, because of the quality of air around here, we can hardly zoom in that close to see cars parked in driveways etc. Malaysia Boleh!
