I have it downloaded already. Go look at the Eiffel Tower, The Great Pyramids, Ground Zero in New York, The Grand Canyon, etc... It gets really addictive.

Addictive? Wait until you see Area 51 and the surrounding instillations. Tilt it until you're down on the deck, then go flying. Way cool. Fly through the Grand Canyon. :woohoo:

If you look at the Northrup plant in Palmdale, you can see B2s on the apron.

I checked my house out and it wasn't there! I built it about 2 1/2 yrs. ago so it must be dated photos.

Ths picture of my house is 2 years old.
That was when we had a pool in our backyard.

If this is what our Gov't is using to find WMD,
GOD help us all !!!

Sorry to hear that. You should look into getting a better security system.

Well, if WMD stands for Weapons of Mass Distraction, I'd pay the premium just to get an overhead satellite close-up of my neighbour's wife sunbathing next to her pool in the back yard. :eek:

Supposedly the KH 11s could read newspaper headlines from orbit. That was 70s technology. The new stuff has to be better.

But who reads newspapers nowadays? Modern satellites must simply hook up directly to the internet news feeds.

OK the new plugins are very cool, don't recall seeing them when the beta was out. You can watch planes land now, see what flights are in the air, their speed and altitude. The National Geographic sites and informational sites are cool too.

They made it more addictive.

So, if you pay you get updated maps? That might be worth it...can anyone confirm that?
