Microsoft Live gets its maps from Navteq. Below is the link for reporting an area that needs updating. Another map provider is teleatlas, I've provided the link, they also allow you to say where a map needs updating.



Keep in mind, you submit a report to Navteq, they will update their maps, but providers choose at what interval to buy updates from Navteq, to keep costs down, many places only update once a year, so it could be up to a year before you might see changes to map and nav systems.

  • A title company granted us title insurance on a construction loan we made on lots with no access.?

    We made this loan based on information from a loan broker we had worked with for several years. The title company used a map that was out of date. Since the time of the map, a boulevard had been expanded into an expressway, which truncated the lots in question and eliminated any access to the lots. Visit Google Earth, 664 1st street, Richmond, CA for an aerial view. We think we have a legitimate claim against the title company, but don't know the best way to proceed. Any suggestions?A title company granted us title insurance on a construction loan we made on lots with no access.?
    I disagree with your contentions on the title insurer. The title firm insures clear and equitable title to the property. There are no guarantees in such a title that there is access to the property. There is landlocked property all over the place which has 'clear and equitable title'. I'm guessing that you bought these properties sight unseen yourself, and were salivating at a low price. Then snapped up what you thought was a bargain, to find that you bought a real pig.



    Contact an attorney if you think you have any possible redress.A title company granted us title insurance on a construction loan we made on lots with no access.?
    You need to have a consultation with a Real Estate Attorney.



    Best wishes and good luck.

    Current UFO sighting for South Californians?

    Well its May 6, 2010 and I am seeing what I believe is a UFO sighting. It has appeared several nights in a row and varies getting brighter or smaller (when being viewed on same night). I understand some may say that it has to do with the weather and such but I have viewed it with binoculars and it appears to have four lights and a little red one on the side. That is all I see so there is a possibility there is more or less. It is not a plane or other aircraft from here and it stays in the same spot but from hour disappears. If you don't believe it then please don't shun this info down but I just wanted to get this out there.



    If you want to keep an eye out for this shinning object, preferably with a telescope because I don't own one, I first saw it around 8:00 P.M. Living in South California, in the city Alhambra, look Northwest. So try looking North, towards where you would find the state of Washington on a map or literally would inevitably end up in Washington if you traveled forward for a really long time. I know not everyone lives near this area and if you Google Earth 2120 West Main Street, Alhambra, CA 91803; it should be west of that area (by the view you get on Google Earth).



    This has taken me a while to write because I keep getting distracted by someone who was viewing it with me. I just went outside and it's gone. Completely gone in the sense that there is no shinning object nearby the place where seen. Seen: around 8 P.M. Disappearance: 9:27 P.M. This doesn't mean it wasn't there longer or it moved further North. hopeful commentsCurrent UFO sighting for South Californians?
    Congratulations. You have discovered the planet Venus.



    It is Venus. What you saw as dots and a red light was scintillation and autokinesis. It will be there tomorrow, and the next day, and the next. Find a friend with a telescope to see it properly.
    thats kina scary i thought i saw one once at like 1 am in lexington mass. it was really low. is the one u see really low?Current UFO sighting for South Californians?
    For many years people have seen strange objects that defy explanation. In the 1800's in west Texas a rancher reported seeing lights out in the middle of the desert and thought it might have been some Apaches making a fire. He went out to investigate who or what that lights were but there was nothing out there. Even today the TV show "Unsolved mysteries" has sent reporters to that area and still they don't know what is causing the lights out in the desert. You can see them on youtube known worldwide as the Marfa Lights. So yes there are some things that defy explanation and I can believe such things exist. More than likely what you are seeing is the planet Venus.Current UFO sighting for South Californians?
    The planet Venus is a most likely explanation for your sighting. Don't be alarmed, many, many people have made the same mistake. Here is a site explaining how it happens:

    http://www.webmesh.co.uk/overlord/eye.ht鈥?/a>



    Otherwise these sites might contain the explanation:

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mirage

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aurora_(ast鈥?/a>

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noctilucent鈥?/a>



    There are heaps of fascinating lights and glows that originate from natural phenomena in the earth's atmosphere that we do not completely understand yet. If it wasn't Venus that you saw, then it may have been one of those other natural glows.

    Did I see ghost? what was it?

    Back in Dec 1987 I know its a long time ago ... Anyway It was about 5am on the 2nd floor of a old house that over looked Pittsburgh on Spring Hill . The house is old so old that it had a entrance for coal in the front of it . The address is 907 Haslage Ave . My Grandfather lived on the first floor and my parents and I and my 2 other brothers were sleeping on the 2nd . Now our beds would of been in the living room if it was a seperate apt when you entered the 2nd floor. my bed on the right my other brother was on the left toward my parents bedroom and my 3rd brothers bed would of been opposite of mine in the center against the opposite wall of the apt door . There was a curtain on the window and everyone was sleeping when I awoke for whatever reason and i remember bumping the wall below the window . All of a sudden i seen a white glowing figure about 5 feet tall over my bed ( Im getting chills on my arms) I watched it for a second as it was at the bottom of the bed . It then moved towards my brother who was opposite of me really slow and it looked like it had a hat on of somekind a roundish hat . I know called for my mom as she was in the doorway seeing what i saw i yelled and as I did a ghostly figure past right through my mom as she stood in the door way and another figure from my end of the bed on the right and instantly they all instantly joined in the middle of the room and flashed through the doorway (and there was a glow around the doorframe) that took you downstairs to the firstfloor where my grandfather came out into the halway and had a flashlight and was teling us to go back to bed and turn out the lights . He also saw what we saw but thought it was the lights from his apt.



    Now since I was 5 back in 1975 or whatever year it was ive seen weird things in that house and being that little who would belive me. Ive seen weird lights on the ceiling no bigger then bottle cap lids that would be there night after night and my grandparents back in 75 would tell me that its a reflection from outside . Later on in life in the mid 80s before the 3 figure event that I talked about above I looked at the same ceiling same lights and there was no way that light could of got in . I got a ladder and climbed up to the ceiling and from the angles couldnt find a way to see anyway a reflection could of made it into the house to hit the ceiling at that angle.

    Growing up there being about 9 or 10 when id stay there on weekeends Id hear footsteps upstairs when it was only me my grandfather and grandmother . My grandmother past away in feb 1986 my parents and us moved back in with my grandfather in Aug 1986 also becase my dad got laid off in 1985 when we moved back. Anyway sometimes it would get cold in the attic and my grandmothers old victrola would play when there was no one up on the 3rd floor. my grandfather would say that its becuase the crank didnt finish unwinding or whatever . I thought otherwise. Im almost 40 now and on the 30th of march its my b-day and I still have dreams about that place and the surrounding area . sometimes the same dream sometimes i wake up scared and chilled / sweaty . ...can u help me ? What was it?....If u have Google Earth type in the address and put it on street view. you can contact me on yahoo at evile9669. tyDid I see ghost? what was it?
    Holy crap. Are those two ghosts in the windows or is it just me?
    make it shorter with a point plzDid I see ghost? what was it?
    I'm sorry dear, but nobody can tell you for sure what you saw in your old house 20 years ago.



    There are some who believe in ghosts, some who believe that our deceased relatives %26amp; loved ones check in on us from time to time from the spiritual plane, and some who believe that each of us have personal spirit guides...but to this day, there is still no generally agreed upon scientific proof of such things.Did I see ghost? what was it?
    Those are actually demons. Dont be tricked into talking to them or going into that lifestyle it always ends in hardship. Ask Jesus for help, use his name and then see how he works. Jesus is in control otherwise why do demons, so called ghost flee if they are so great?

    How did America get so big in such a short time?

    It amazes me.I mean like how did the city's get so big? Ive been looking on Google earth and it fascinates me just looking around on street view.I know that when the first colonists came to America they had allot of natural resources at their disposal.Was it just allot of hard work and determination?How did America get so big in such a short time?
    Discoveries that branch out and lead to other discoveries pretty much causes everything in the world to grow exponentially. Industrial revolution played a huge roll. Immigration as well! A large percentage of the US's population are people who either immigrated or their parents immigrated there.

    Also when money starts to get concentrated in one area people start to move towards the money in search for jobs, that's why city centers are always most densely populated.



    Also discoveries in engineering in construction allowed for skyscrapers / multi story buildings that aid in concentrating populations in smaller areas!
    Well, I'm not an American (I'm Dutch) but Americans have this thing about doing everything big or on a huge scale. Buildings, cars, motorbikes, construction projects, you name it, and they will challenge it, or if I may use the term, 'go for it'. Put short, they are (at least to me) a very ambitious and always have been. In a way, its a very challenging country where many have sought opportunity to mostly fail but at the same time become very wealthy. Americans have been heavily criticized on political issues around the world for continually doing wrong, to a point they have done wrong, based mostly on bad decisions etc, but this is nothing new, all Nations make mistakes, sometimes serious ones. But then again, only America has taken a lot of the risks to maintain peace around the world, this comes at great costs in terms of sacrifice, putting costs aside, these sacrifices are rarely ever mentioned but should be.
    If my historical memory serves me correct the purchase of the 'state of Louisiana' back in 1814 or 1834 (I'm unsure) added a staggering 827,0000 square miles of territory to the United States for a meager sum of around $US15,000,000. Mind you, it was a lot of money then, but still a very good deal. It was purchased from France, as the French were keen to use those funds to fight their next war. It shows true determination to have acquired that land and it could only have been the Americans to have pulled-it-off. To this date, and probably fore-ever after, this land purchase was the largest in real-estate history.How did America get so big in such a short time?
    America didn't change size, but yes, the cities have grown. That is the result of population growth - both natural and immigration. There is a difference between city buildings in Europe and in America, Unlike Europe, Americans can buy a plot of land, design the building they want and put it up, regardless of what surrounding buildings look like. Of course, if it is too outre, neighbors might complain and the building might have to be altered. In America, the building codes used to be concerned mainly with the safe construction of a building. The exterior was up to you. That's changing in many places.How did America get so big in such a short time?
    Freedom is the key. We had unlimited opportunities in the US. Governments did not interfere with progress. Natural resources help. But, look at Japan. It was basically flattened during WWII. The US introduced democratic and economic reforms, then turned the Japanese people loose. They never had any natural resources. They became a powerhouse in 50 years. It took the US about 500 years to develop.
    Simple answer an abundance of land, labour (labor) and capital as well as the industrial revolution and financial gains from WW1 and WW2. Excellent entrepeneurs like Andrew Carnegie and banks who lent money on the basis of good business models rather than titles like in the UK and yes more personal liberty and freedom.
    Hey it was exploitation all the way. Exploitation makes both human being and country big. They expoited many parts of the world mainly the red Indians

    Hard work, determination, and greed.
    Oh... I thought this was a pun.
    We do what we want. When we want.
    From the very outset at the establishment of the first English settlement in North America at Jamestown VA, the plan was to grow and expand as rapidly as possible.

    For the first few years Jamestown as a viable profit making company did not succeed. Then someone with a smart head on their shoulders planted hundreds of Virginia Tobacco plants. In England there was a fast growing market for this 'smoke weed' for cigars and pipes and also for the making of snuff.

    Result - all this tobacco made more than a fast buck for the Jamestown VA company - the profits just rolled in.

    Leaping forward a century or so and the British with their now thirteen colonies began forward planning, as you do. They began working out (estimating) how long it would take to fill the place up by the normal process of breeding (people getting married and having families). Slaves were not included in this calculation.

    However, the British quickly realised that if they were to succeed they would do the job faster and more easily by bringing in thousands of immigrants from Europe and beyond. Talent would flow freely into what now had become the United States of America - following a successful uprising and revolution - the purposes of which were expansion in a westerly direction.

    Cattle ranching and farming started the money flowing in - vast production of wheat/cereals and etc.
    Then industrialisation and etc.

    These next links I hope, will throw some light on the thinking behind how it would all work and become profitable.

    Let's look at it like this. People numbers are not a problem - but lack of people numbers is a problem. Only about one in 100 people has better than average intelligence. Therefore by constantly importing immigrants, sooner or later the place has 'brains' and lots of it.

    The most heavily populated place on Earth is down town Manhattan - it is also the richest place on Earth.

    USA got big by thinking big and expanding Westward.

    Behind it all is the powerful think of the English Levellers, who's influence still reigns supreme in the USA today after all this time.

    I, too have seen ghosts. I'll be right back with my story (I'm tired of writing it out as I get on here and answer ghost questions frequently) as soon as I can find it on another question.

    Here it is-Sorry, I answered this back at level two so it took me awhile to find.

    One time I was walking down the hall and then I looked into my atrium and there was a shadow person in the shape of a black trench coat floating there with no hands, legs, or head but it was fastened where the hands, waist and everything else should have been. However, where the eyes would have been on a person, there were red glowing eyes floating above the shadow person's coat. I locked "eyes" or whatever those were with it and then I got scared (I was 11 at the time) and ran back into the hallway only to come back and there to be nothing but thin air where it was. I have seen more but to tell the truth this was the best one. However, I've intercepted an EVP. Here is the explanation of what it is.



    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_鈥?/a>



    I was about to record the audio of something, and about 4 seconds before it plays, I hear a voice with a British accent whisper, "Stab skin them". It scars the hell out of me but I can't let something like that go. I could download it to my PC but there's no point since none of you know me, you could easily say it's fake but I don't blame you.

    I hope this helps in some way for you to realize you aren't alone.

    As for the dreams, I can only tell you to pray to God (the Christian God, because I am a Christian) That helped me when I was a young child and had a recurring dream that would have me waking up in tears, screaming and sleep paralysis. They went away after I started praying.Was it ghost that I saw ?
    thats sounds just like a ghost there are all kinds of ghost the ones you saw were nothing hurting anyone but they have mad ghost that hurt peopleWas it ghost that I saw ?
    It sounds to me that it's kind of an intelligent haunt. It sounds like the spirits you saw when you were younger were completely aware of the things around them and got spooked somewhat easily. It also sounds to me that your grandmother stayed with that house. It sounds to me that she was still there watching over you and your family. If you would like to talk more about this and learn more about the paranormal, my suggestion is to visit www.moonlitdreams.net. Blessed be

  • Is this house Victorian or Edwardian?

    I'm talking about my grandma's house. (I asked this question somewhere else and got 0 answers, so polls %26amp; surveys it the best for answers)

    I think it's late Victorian but my mum thinks it's Edwardian.

    Go to google earth and type in...

    18 Hull Street, Richmond, Victoria.

    The exact result is her house and look at the outside using the street view . Oh, yes, she's moved out of the house and it's empty now because it's very, very, very sadly getting knocked down in two weeks.. :(. Stalk her all you want, you won't find her!



    Anyway, the front of the house is double fronted, door in the middle, two single sash windows to either side, a veranda, tin roof and decorative architraves around the door and windows. The original house was four rooms and a hallway, an outdoor kitchen, bathroom, laundry and toilet.



    Walk through the front door, probably changed in the 60's to a porthole door, into an hallway. In the middle of the hallway, there is a hallway arch which looks victorian to me, not the wooden edwardian kind, similar to this one...

    http://www.gardeniahouse.com/p/arch.jpg



    On the left, you enter through a four panelled door (two top panels longer than the bottom), like this one...

    http://www.terracehousefactory.com.au/pr鈥?/a>



    ...into the main bedroom, with single sash window, vented ceiling rose, like this one...

    http://www.dunstoneplaster.com.au/PLASTE鈥?/a>



    ...and you can see where the chimney breast used to be, but all of them in the house were taken out in the 60's. It has no cornicing but has detailed skirting boards. Go back out of the hallway and turn right is another bedroom, same stuff, sash window, you can see where the chimney breast was, four panelled door and ceiling rose. Go down the hallway, turn left, another bedroom, sash window, four panelled door, old chimney breast, no cornicing and an un-vented ceiling rose. Turn back into the hallway and turn right into a living room, no cornicing, ceiling rose, no door, like the other rooms. Go back into the hallway and go to the end where an extension was added in the early 70's. My mum told me the kitchen, bathroom, laundry and toilet were all outside, if that helps. Then the extension connected the bathroom and kitchen to the main house.



    Nothing great about the extension, just a long room. Then there's the kitchen, which has a low ceiling height, and the bathroom which which is even shorter than the kitchen. Then outside, is the laundry which has an edwardian looking door and an old fireplace. There is the outside toilet which is just a toilet and a door made out of a few boards and nails.



    The whole house is built out of brick but has weatherboard at the front. It looks very similar to this house...

    http://www.realestate.com.au/property-ho鈥?/a>



    but with no cast iron.



    So what do you think?Is this house Victorian or Edwardian?
    Victorian.......!

    What is this program?

    there is this program that my friend's dad showed me and it was sort of like google earth but you could be on the street looking at bulidings and stuff just as if you were standing there. it was a street view rather than aerial view. does anyone know what program that is and where i could find it?What is this program?
    Appropriately enough, this is called Google Street View. It isn't available everywhere (yet). There is a little yellow man above the slider bar on the left where you zoom in and out of Google Maps. To use Street View, just go to Google Maps and drag the yellow man to the street that you want to view.What is this program?
    just go to google maps ...zoom in and you will see the 'wee orange guy' on top of the zoom bar ...drag him onto the street and this will change to street view ( only certain areas will work )What is this program?
    That is the newest Google Earth. He had 3d buildings enabled. Just download it and as you zoom in closer you'll see something that looks like bubbles, click on it and you'll have a street view. It's even on Google Maps: http://maps.google.com

    I need help finding a street in France ?

    My little sister is studying abroad this spring to Perpignan, France. I want to find what house she is staying in, but i am having an impossible time finding it. I speak/read zero french, so it's even harder to find. It seems as though the street doesnt even exist. (as far as i can tell on a map)



    what i really want to do is look at the ariel view of the house on live search(explorer) or google earth. live search, preferably. im pretty sure the area does not have the birds eye view......but i would be happy with just the street.



    rue des magnolias, perpignan, france.



    can you help me find the street on a map?I need help finding a street in France ?
    Here it is. I found it on Mapquest

    I've located the coordinates for you. Enter these into google earth and you'll see her place. She's very close to the train station with a pool in the backyard.

    I don't think there's anything quite that complex besides Google Earth. If you're traveling in China, I would highly recommend just getting a cheap GPS unit for your car. They are incredibly helpful.

    Is there any place where I can download a free map of any country (specifically china) in english that is interactive or very detailed in that manner, similar to google maps. So, any map similar to google maps, like having street view, able to switch cities, and find directions if possible. But, i need to do this without internet connection, so google earth doesn't work. if anyone knows of a place that can have this downloaded china map, more specifically beijing and shanghai if that's easier, that would be greatly appreciated. 10 points to best answer. Thanks!Maps for free download?
    I think our asker made it clear that he wanted an off-line use of a map of China.



    There is a software called 51ditu. It is free, and with that you can download any map of Chinese cities, but unfortunately it is in Chinese.

    Anyway, if you need that, you can download it here:

    http://download.51ditu.com/btxz2.html



    PS It does not have street view. Not many maps have that great fuction though.Maps for free download?
    download -- no, on line use -- yes...

    unless you are eager to make a hundred of screen shots to save the info you need...

    :)



    i usually shoot a piece of map i need and print it out...

    How do i see my street virtual tour?

    the other day i was given a link that provided me with a virtual tour of anywhere i wanted to see via camera but not satalite birds eye view it was up close images of my entire road step by step, this is new and not a download nor is it something u have to pay for does anyone know the name of the site it is not google earth as this only provides a birds eye view.How do i see my street virtual tour?
    Google Earth does provide street view - I have it. You have to have the latest version and the street view option is in the list on the left pane which you tick and when you go into a location you see all the cameras, just double click and you are there - street view. Otherwise, use Google Street Map which obviously is street view, no camera but little yellow men which you drag to the area you want. Bear in mind though that not all UK has been covered yet. With Google Earth, though the program is installed on your computer, to use it, it actually connects to the internet of course.

  • I want to know about brisbane australia please?

    Hi i am16 years old living in essex england. i really want to move out to brisbane australia in any way i simply can! any job that pops up or just anything i will be there in a flash. But the thing is people have bin saying to me nowhere is perfect and australia is the same as any other country. i want to know more about brisbane as i have never ever been there in my life i have just seen i in pictures and on google street view and done infomation it on the net of course but never actually spoke to someone from there. Is it really paradise on earth? Wheres the best place in brisbane to live? And is there alot of crime in brisbane and is the weather and people quite bad? Any info on brisbane let me no it even if you are from there or just moved there let me no what its like!!!! thank youI want to know about brisbane australia please?
    I wouldnt recomend the gold coast its Crime central, its had 3 shootings in a month, better as a holiday or day trip. Brisbane has a low crime rate. The weather is mild and dry in winter but get is warm-hot and humid in Summer and its wet season is Summer so we dont get bush fores like the southern states as well as not getting heat waves. People in Brisbane are nice but just like any other city else there are the wankery type of people here. The best suburbs are on the North side of the river but the inner city part south is still fine, just as you get out south of greenslopes (suburb) it starts getting a bit bogan/trashy, My favourite suburb probably be baddington or New farm both have a cafe, alfresco dinning type feel about them, and theyre very prettyI want to know about brisbane australia please?
    Gday!!

    Im from Essex too-Maldon, I came here when i young. I grew up in Perth, and now I live on the Gold Coast which is 1 hour south of Brisbane. Its true, that no country on earth is perfect, they all have their pros and cons, it depends if the pros of Brisbane beat the pros f Essex and only you can be the judge of that as it comes down to personal preferences!! I myself thank my parents everyday for emigrating to this beautiful amazing country. The quality of life is great, as is the weather!!!



    Brisbane is a great city, its not too cold in the winter and the summers are arm, and humid. I believe the inner suburbs are better to live in, as you can still be close to the city and get a feel for Brisbane life, but not be stuck out in the suburbs, try Taringa, Toowong, West end, Paddington, Spring Hill areas. The people are great and crime is low. I prefer the Gold Coast as its close to the beach and has a more laid back lifestyle, its a tourist town.



    go to www.ourbrisbane.com



    and www.goldcoast.com.au



    www.seek.com is good jobs siteI want to know about brisbane australia please?
    move to the Gold Coast!

    What is the best way to make a huge image that can be zoomed ,may be, 20 or 30 times?

    Hi every one

    HAPPY NEW YEAR

    what i am looking forward is to make an image of a whole town from Google Earth,with the possibility to zoom it to view every street

    you may call it Gigapixel Photo,i dunno

    I hope you understand me



    Happy 2009What is the best way to make a huge image that can be zoomed ,may be, 20 or 30 times?
    First off, expect this to be a time consuming project. That said,

    this is what I would do... first go to google earth, and before doing anything else, go to the tools pull-down menu... from there, click the 3D View tab, and make sure these settings are as follows:

    Texture Color: True Color (32 bit)

    Terrian Quality: Higher (slower)

    Map Size: Large

    Zoom Relation: Infinity

    Then, zoom into each area as closely as possible without skewing it (it should be like you are flying in the air and looking straight down at it, not like you are standing and looking out at it). E-mail the image to yourself. Pan, repeat. Make sure each image is "shot" from the SAME distance otherwise they won't line up right when you put them together.

    Next, paste each image into a large photoshop document (high DPI, large physical size) and line it up with other images the best you can. Save as a PSD that you can adjust it later if you want, but also save a JPG for a reduced file size and to flatten layers (it will still be a HUGE file).

    Hope that helps!

    Google earth and other map software.?

    okay so what i really want to do is go down on a road to see some houses from the front and not just the birds eye view. i want to be able to drag down to go down the road to be able to see the houses from the front. how can i do that because if i put in an address it doesn't let me drag on that street but only the next one to it, and then it won't let me turn where i want it to go.





    help? do you know any good free software to let me do that? i live far away and want to get a glimpse of a house first before i actually go down there and to see around the neighborhood. thanks!Google earth and other map software.?
    they discontinued that because of privacy laws

    Google earth question?

    I want to view a map of a city with no terrain just street map as in yahoo maps is this possible? Google earth question?
    When you open up Google there are four buttons at the top.



    Layers [self explanatory], Map [which is the same as a conventional road map], Satellite [as is in reality although depending on what scale will display road names] and Terrain [which basically is a pencil drawing road map]Google earth question?
    Yes, just select the MAP option (top right)

    I need something as good as google earth!?

    I need a picture of my street (where you can see the houses) and one picture of my house. (Both birdseye view)



    Thanks!



    =DI need something as good as google earth!?
    you find anything better than google earth its the best mapping software on the internet. You can always try microsof streets and tips they have some 3d view of streets but not nearly as many as google earth does.

    Why would a girder bridge structure for a rail line have only one section with through girders?

    A rather high rail line trestle over US75 in Plano Texas has a whole series of girder beam sections where the girders are under the rails then one section where the girders are beside the rails. The obvious reason in looking is that the clearance under the section is much higher and is it placed over the DART Rail beside the highway. But is it that much cheaper and easier to put the beams under that they couldn't do the through beam all the way? The example is here 32掳58'0.51"N 96掳43'15.71"W and on Google maps or Earth you can barely make out the shape of the shadow. And Wow - here it is on Google Street View via Tiny URL http://tinyurl.com/cacgedWhy would a girder bridge structure for a rail line have only one section with through girders?
    Because the engineers in their infinite wisdom decided this is safe and it meets the budget for this project.

    Where on earth is Osama Ben laden...?

    We have google Earth, why can't we see where he is hiding...

    And if you see him, how can he get his bomb...

    Has been 4 years that he succeed to elude the US, this is getting stupid with all the tools we have to find him...

    Now that we have street view it could be made usefull ;)Where on earth is Osama Ben laden...?
    There are a lot of details that we the general public do not know about. With all our military intelligence, gps tracking, sattellite feeds, there's no reason why we can't find him. I guess the real question is, is our government, our country, the leaders of our nation really searching for him or is this a front for some hidden agenda? A lot of things that I once believed are starting to be questionnable. I know the U.S. is not blind and I know we are not slow...

    Some things just don't add up....
    The last place we would look - Camp David! Where he can kick back in comfort with his pal, our President.

    lol good one.. honestly i dont think were looking for him rite now... but i'd love to find his a s s cuz uncle sam dont pay enough
    He is in a sanctuary city along with 20 million of his fellow illegal aliens.
    use it to find your sence you cant just use medioker equipment to get him you have to use mapquest to find out how to get to his cave
    We are not even looking for him. He may be in Crawford at the ranch.
    That's a goofy question!!!! Ask the CIA, NSA, FBI. Go covert, maybe you'll figure something out before they do, especially if you are a hacker of some sorts. You find out, let me know. I want him taken down, but not at the expense of my country or military. You are silly for even bringing that question to the table.
    He's in Bush's pocket in Saudi Arabia with his family. We can't locate a 6+ foot tall Arab who needs regular dialisys treatments.. LOL What a bunch of BS!
    because there are a lot of look a like of Osama Bin Laden hard to find maybe he is just hiding on middle east or even america
    he may very well be dead and already, playing poker in hell with hitler and saddam.



    who cares. there's a lot more to worry about in the world besides a crazy shiek whose either dead or cr a pping in a cave somewhere.
    Lets find him and bomb his *** back to the stone age.
    What does google earth have to do with finding osama ?



    You do know the google satelite images are several years old ??



    It's not live satelite.



    Satelites do not remain stationary over a fixed area.



    They usually only have coverage time of about 10 to 20 mins, either once a day, or depending on the satelite, several times a day.



    Imagine the resolution, to actually be able to see and identify a human.



    While we have that resolution,,, each image would only cover several square feet.



    Now imagine searching thru several million such images each and every day.



    Lets look at it this way,



    Afghanistan and Pakistan have 1.4 million square kilometers.



    So lets just take 25% of that for the search area.



    Thats 356,000 sq kiliometers to search.



    Now lets say that an image with enough resolution to indentify a certain person, would cover 9 sq yards, or 18 feet by 18 feet.



    You would have to seach 65 million such images, just to seach 25% of Afghanistan and Pakistan.



    That is, if the satelite could actually see all of the area needed to be covered.



    As mountainious as that area is, unless the satelite was looking stright down, then it couldn't see all areas, because it would be looking sideways at some areas and it would not see in some valleys and draws, because the side of the mountain would be in the way.



    Also note, Osama, probally knows when the satelites fly overhead, that is not hard info to find out.



    Plus you have all the caves in the area.



    Plus, how hard is it to just cover your face.



    While osama might be tall, you can not tell tall, if they are setting down.



    It would take 7,500 people, looking at one image every 10 secs for 24 hours, to look at 65 million images.



    See the problem ?
    with Carmen Sandiego...
    Ask the guy who killed JFK... the cia head george bush sr....

    since Osama works for him.. he could probably tell you..

    I have a new computer, i had to reinstall windows because of Trojan, and now it all looks older?

    What the hell did he do to it?

    The browser looks older, the player, i downloaded Google earth again and it doesn't have a street view, the downloading takes much longer, it's suppose to be better and not worst.I have a new computer, i had to reinstall windows because of Trojan, and now it all looks older?
    From this and your previous questions, I'd say it's time for you to take a basic computer and internet course.
    Reinstalling windows puts earlier versions of programs on your computer. You'll have to update them by downloading new versions of the programs you want to update.



    Search Google for the names of the programs that don't look right.



    Also, do a windows update. (There should be a link to Windows Update in the start menu.)I have a new computer, i had to reinstall windows because of Trojan, and now it all looks older?
    I'm with Dr Dave; you're in way over your head.

    These Windows equipped machines are not something you buy, take home and plug 'em in, and all the world's at your fingertips (contrary to what you see in the commercials).

    Even when they work right, they are highly complicated; and when you throw into the mix millions of bad guys try to f--k them up, it's not a playground for the un-educated.

    You must be a security expert, even if you don't want to be.I have a new computer, i had to reinstall windows because of Trojan, and now it all looks older?
    Sounds like you installed an old version of Windows XP (SP0)??????



    You need to go to Windows update (Tools %26gt; Windows update) and update your machine to Service Pack 3 (SP3).



    Keep going back to Windows update even when you think you are done. You have almost 10 years of updating to catch up with.



    A un-updated version of XP is very insecure and is a virus and malware magnet.

    Google earth images are so out of date.?

    Don't you agree that Google Earth has been using really old bird's eye views of cities? I live in London, United Kingdom and when I zoomed into my street I realized that the street had features that I could remember were there around 2002/2003. The street has changed a lot since then!. Why is the program so useless, Google guys?Google earth images are so out of date.?
    Yes it's really out of date.
    Yeah...I'm glad you said this. I'm in Alghero (Italy) and my house from google is not recent at all. There's at least 6-7 yrs difference!!!

    They're really should get updated. Thumbs down!Google earth images are so out of date.?
    yea. i check it but they R too old..Google earth images are so out of date.?
    yes I noticed that also and I live in the Midwest of the US. think about it. why would the government show the world something that is so up to date that people could use it for their own means, (besides just maps). also, why would they show us that they can spy on us from that far away? When I looked at my house the picture was about 2003.
    Ya I noticed that too.. pretty dumb
    i agree

    how old can i tell as of when these satelite images of the earth/streets are? for example......its about time for tourists to envade tourst beach areas...........on images right now will i see alot of trafic in those areas? or are they from last year?On (google maps) are these images im viewing the latest/ new pictures taking of the earth?
    No images that you see on Google Maps or even in Google Earth are old.



    In Google Earth, at the bottom left of the screen, you'll be able to find the imagery date for a particular area.

    What is a good street map site or program? (Re-phrased question)?

    Ok, I was misunderstood. What I need is a site or program where I can input the name of a street, ie: Raleigh Ct, Clarksville, TN, and I'll be able to view a map of the street, all of the structures AND the address or building number for structures on that particular street or sections thereof. I know about google earth/maps and all that. Hybrid view shows structure and street name, but not address. Thanks.What is a good street map site or program? (Re-phrased question)?
    Check to see if your county's Assessor has a website. Our county assessor has an amazing website where you can view an image of a street with buildings. The images are updated more frequently than Google Earth/Maps.



    You can click on each property and see: owner name, property address, parcel number, last sales date/price, square footage, floorplan sketch, previous owners, and so on. Many counties across the country are creating websites like this.

    Where do i find Microsoft's web-based equivalent to Google Earth?

    The other day one of my students showed me a map he had found on a microsoft website, that looked just like google earth, except that he was able to get images that were much higher resolution than my normal Google Earth can get.



    I know this: The site had a Windows circle emblem and a bluish color theme. The site also had the word "Virtual" in its name, such as microsoft virtual maps. It was web-based, unlike google maps. It had the navigation indicators in the upper left corner of the view.



    Now whenever i try to find that site again myself, it always sends me to the stupid corporate Microsoft site that tells me everything i could ever want to know about setting up microsoft virtual maps for my own business, but it doesn't actually show me any place online to just USE THE PROGRAM!



    I just want the link to the site where i can type in my street address, and get the microsoft virtual map for that location, where i can then zoom way in and get a very hi-res image of my location.Where do i find Microsoft's web-based equivalent to Google Earth?

    Did Google Earth change?

    When I use to go on Google Earth, I could get up close to the houses and look at the front of them and around the street..



    Now when I go on there, I can only see the top view of houses.



    Is there something in the options that I'm not seeing? Or did they redesign the program?



    Thanks :)Did Google Earth change?
    sorry no. you've been transplanted to THIS planet. its the sister earth on the other side of the sun that google has that option.



    seriously, If I remember correctly, that is a download add-on that you need to install, and if you are working on a different machine/browser, that might be it. It could also be that google hasn't gotten around to doing a street shot of that particular house. check out a house that you know you have already seen.Did Google Earth change?
    no it didn't change it's still the same

    Crossbow Golden Retrievers?

    I have found the place where I am going to get my puppy but I still don't know much about that place. How is that place there like? (I went to Google Earth and searched street view but that place looks like a normal house. I could not see any sign or name printed anywhere) Do we have to make reservation before we visit? Is that place a good breeder? Is there always puppies there waiting for us to bring home or we have to wait until there is a litter? Can we bring the puppy home right away or we have visit there many times? Should we do a lot of paperwork?Crossbow Golden Retrievers?
    Couldn't find much information on them.

    I did find this from an old Westminster Kennel club entry list, and that is normally a good thing.



    40 Ch Crossbow Trinity's Sensation

    Breed: Retriever (Golden)

    Sex: Dog

    AKC: SN 51686003

    Date of Birth: January 11, 1998

    Breeder: Candice Caffey Hirte %26amp; Sharon M M Hanson

    Sire: Ch Salyran Take It To The Limit

    Dam: Crossbow's Cover Story

    Owner: Gary D Nice %26amp; Sharon M M Hanson



    I would venture a guess and say that they do not have puppies there 24-7. It's probably a matter of getting on a waiting list.

    However, most breeders that are good enough to make it to Westminster network with other breeders, so they may well know of someone with a litter of quality Golden Retrievers on the ground.Crossbow Golden Retrievers?
    "Do we have to make reservation before we visit? " Well duh, you don't just show up to someone's home as a complete stranger.



    "Is there always puppies there waiting for us to bring home or we have to wait until there is a litter? " Of course you are going to have to wait. Good breeders do not have pups around all the time and even if there are pups there currently does not mean any are for sale or for sale to a pet home.



    "Can we bring the puppy home right away or we have visit there many times? " As you have been told on PREVIOUS questions you are not going to be able to just show up with cash same day and leave with a pup and if you don't have a dog cleared with your landlord i suggest you get on to that.



    "Should we do a lot of paperwork?" Depends on the breeder and any good one is going to check out and that plays into my above answer about your landlord.



    Once again stop asking people to do your homework. Call or email them AFTER the holiday hell I'd hold off until at least thursday, friday and talk with them. No one is just going to hand feed you the RIGHT breeder for you

    it does not work for every street.

    Lots of information has been surveyed already and entered into the maps through the web among user friendly.?

    For example,Google maps,Yahoo maps,Virtual earth etc.

    In google maps v have lots of information are there such as considered a city inside of all roads,rivers point of interest include temple, college,ATM,Hospitals,etc.Recently in that road maps google as created street view maps.

    MY QUESTION IS...

    1.Any other information can be added which should be useful for the public, except the above information.Please use your new creativity and it should be useful for the public.Lots of information has been surveyed already and entered into the maps through the web among user friendly.?
    Drainage systems could and should be added, particularly the parts of the drainage system that cannot be seen by the general public because they have been completely channelized under streets or the ground. Even if the maps of the drainage system are outdated, they still have very useful information, especially in areas that have had natural or man-made disasters. I and others wouldn't have to answer questions like does it matter if a particular canal is connected to other canals or not. An unconnected canal is not a canal. It's a holding pond or a small enclosed lake.

I have no way to do anything though because of all the trees in my town blocking the view of the streets from above.Google Earth Help?

    Google withdrawing dozens of street-map pictures due to massive backlash - were they an invasion of privacy?

    Now, if a man in a van drove past your street and took pictures, including your front door, your windows, or even yourself munching on a 6-piece bargain bucket, would that not be seen as a classic manoeuvre from the stalker's manifesto?



    What makes Google so omnipotent as to think they can do such actions at will?



    Is their new 'street-map' service just a novelty or is it really necessary - I mean was Google Earth not useful enough? Do you have any views on whether it is an invasion of your privacy?Google withdrawing dozens of street-map pictures due to massive backlash - were they an invasion of privacy?
    I'm not too keen to make it easier for burglars to stake my house. I was shocked to see that not only the license plate number of the cars in front of my house but also my laundry hanging on the line were clearly visible. It is an invasion of privacy and potentially can endanger the ones living there. If we lived in an honest world, perhaps I would not mind so much. However given the high crime rate, google needs to be careful. If one person discovers that google street view had facilitated a burglary, he/she will sue the pants off the pair. I know I would.



    Edit:

    Google could at least have had the courtesy to request permission. They didn't. That makes them worse than stalkers and they are doing it for financial gain. Which means they are profiting from what belongs to you. Class action suit anyone?
    People are free to post their pictures of public places on the internet. And there are plenty of such photos all over the place.



    I see no reason why Google should be treated any different when it comes to posting pictures of public places.



    Individuals should have the right to privacy within their homes. But the public does have the right to know about public places. And there needs to be some balance between the two. Restricting the public's right to know about public places doesn't sound fair to me.Google withdrawing dozens of street-map pictures due to massive backlash - were they an invasion of privacy?
    I think it is just a novelty. You don't need this type of street level photography to find your way around conventional type of mapping is more than adequate. Its just a tool for people to be virtual tourists.

    I think we should air on the side of caution why needlessly put peoples privacy at risk. Why not get some kind of consensus on this and regulate it if need be.





    I would like to add that I think there is a huge difference between posting pictures on the internet and photographing in comprehensive detail peoples neighborhoods.Google withdrawing dozens of street-map pictures due to massive backlash - were they an invasion of privacy?
    Omg I didnt knew about this feature, didnt work for me until now....

    Google can get sued

    seems potentially risky, too much privacy is shown with this feature



    I can see my town,old house, schools, and even other peoples ads

    I thought it was the most unknownwest placein the world.

    Never saw the google vehicles yet theres a bunch of pictures
    OK sorry but I bloody love it and have been addicted to it for a few days - I fail to see how can be serious issue in terms of privacy really..are the streets not public anyway?



    If a stalker wanted to target someone seeing the image of their victims street is going to impact on that in what way?



    I have found it really useful so far...in helping me be really really nosey.



    Does this mean you have been collared on camera wearing a beret and drinking peach schnapps?
    No its just a boring picture of a street , ppl dont know where I live because they have a picture of your street. I think the concern was about army barracks etc, like as if any one that way inclined to test security or make a statememnt has to google "army barrack" before they attack it!!
    I think it is interesting and I wouldnt mind if I was photographed, it would make me laugh and will probably be the closest thing to fame for me :-)



    I think if people are so bothered about burglers etc they should be more security conscious anyway, and people who get photographed doing things that they would rather peopledidnt see then they shouldnt be doing them in the first place.
    I hadn't thought about it until i heard it discussed in depth on the radio yesterday..I think it's quite unnecessary and will lead to all sorts of problems..If i discovered my home was on there,i'd have it removed..If we lived in a safe and law abiding environment,that would be a different matter.................
    Their invasion of privancy only happened for one moment in time - long gone now. The Google thing isn't happening in real time unlike cctv cameras that watch us 24/7, I think it's all been a big hoo-haa over nothing,
    Not an invasion of privacy, no. I looked and my street is on it and you can see my flat. Unfortunately I was nowhere to be seen! Very Disappointing! lol.
    if i could be seen on this google street map thing jerking off behind a bush then i would consider it an invasion of my privacy but since i cant be seen i guess its ok
    if you are not doing any thing wrong then i can,t see all the fuss its only the people who have somthing to hide that is worried about it
    Yes, I think it is an invasion of privacy. It's a bit too "Big Brother is watching you" for me.
    They should not personalize.
    If I'm not doing anything wrong why should I care.
    We have enough people looking at what we do from so called elected

    sources.Downing St and councils.We don't need it from unelected ones.
    No I don't think so ........ anyway Microsoft Virtual Earth is much better, try it, it is a free download.
    If you have got nothing to hide then you have got nothing to worry about OOPS where have I heard that before?
    I don't like the "idea" of it all. it is so Big Brother to me.
    Initially, I felt it was a really fun and interesting idea. I hadn't really considered what it might be like to be caught out on camera doing something you shouldn't. People having affairs, skipping school or work or even vulnerable people (such as battered wives who have moved to a new area to escape a violent partner, or someone who is trying to escape a stalker, or a vengeful criminal etc) could be accidentally exposed.



    Of course these are extreme examples. I'm sure most people caught on images are perfectly innocent!



    Perhaps the idea needs tweaking to accommodate British modesty a bit!
    LOL we had the camera in the village yesterday. It was a total shock to all. We are so remote, yes the scenery is beautiful but you have to drive 50 miles over mountains to get to us, from the nearest main town.



    Some we know well were waving, others were hiding lol. As for me, well thank god I was inside, as the hair wasn't straightened, not important I hear some shout lol well when curly it resembles a mop!!



    The car went right passed our house, the cars, dogs and Gillon will be seen by all lol...



    oooh and in answer lol...Well yes I think it's intrusive, I know they block out faces, number plates and street names, but it must be a shock to some to see themselves on the picture!!
    yes it is an invasion of your privacy, but when people are out and about within the public, anywhere in their home and relative and friends homes. Or out and about anywhere on vacations. wheher if the unexpected photographed person is either famous or not, that is still a terrible position to be in. When the stalking photographers, are so rude and don't even ask for permission first, like they always should ask you for permission for photographs to be taken of you. since it is a piece of you in their camera where they can steal your identity by imposing to be you always Which this is why at times you can't aviod them, except to run in the any other ways to get well away from them. and call the law people and they would sort those stalkong photographers out. So it you can be safe and feel at ease with yourself and within your life too.

    I feel like a creepy pathetic loser...help?

    So anyways, I'm a nerdy teenage girl to begin with. I've always had guy troubles because 1) The guy thinks I'm not preppy/sporty/hot/whatever enough, or 2) He thinks I'm book-smarter than him. Recently, I felt that all problems were gone when I realized that an old classmate and I were a perfect match. Well this isn't like any other crush, it's actually based on personality entirely (like seriously, entirely.) But then I just went all creepy-stalker on him and hacked his email, read them to see if there was anything about me (yeah, Narcissistic I know and plus I found nothing, and looked up his house on street view on Google Earth!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I feel like such a creep, and even worse, I found on his email he has a girl who he flirts with, is super-close to him, and is funny, really smart, blah blah blah, is his BFF, ladeeda the list goes on. Now I feel like a creep, loser, intruder, stalker, and pathetic girl who is boy-crazy. GAAAAH and I thought this time it would be different.





    Help...pleaseI feel like a creepy pathetic loser...help?
    You鈥檙e not a looser first of all! Who cares if you鈥檙e a nerd? I was a nerd, life gets so much different after you leave school trust me. Don鈥檛 be ashamed that you are smart, you are not pathetic; you just have trust issues. I can understand that too, I used to get given a hard time at school it shook me up for a while and I didn鈥檛 trust many people.



    Be yourself, get your school work done; because what they called you in school means nothing when you leave. You鈥檙e not a creep, you just really have to build up your confidence and believe that you are worth it.

    I feel like a creepy pathetic loser...help?
    dont freak out, just dont hack people's email anymore... that's not cool. i know where you're coming from though, i was a nerdy girl in high school too... but dont stress about it, seriously, after everything is said and done, this petty high school stuff makes about zero difference in how your life will turn out... just stay positive, and good things will come... i hope this helps, and sorry if i kinda babbled

    Does anyone know what that search tool is in Google?

    last year, i heard my friend tell me that google has this new feature where you search a city and it gives you a 3D view of the city, just like you're walking in the streets. Its not google earth where its a birds eye's view. Does anyone know what that feature is called?Does anyone know what that search tool is in Google?
    perhaps google maps?
    it's called google 'street view', but it's in it's early stages - they've started photographing large cities in the united states by driving round in cars that have a 360 degree camera on top:

    http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?f=q%26amp;hl=en%26amp;鈥?/a>



    the above link is to one of the streets outside of central park in new york, and allows you to spin the view 360 degrees or use the underlying map to move along the street(s).



    as i say, it's a new thing so coverage is patchy - if an area has been photographed there will be a 'street view' button alongside the satellite/map/hybrid buttons in google maps:

    http://maps.google.com



    google's own help page for streetview is:

    visiting their headquarters in streetview is interesting:

    Google Earth doens't, just old snapshots. Im talking live views of street level activity, is this even possible? Would be so fascinating.Are there any sites that have live satellite feeds of the earth?
    Closeup pictures live all the time is impossible. Weather satellites are almost live, but they don't show small detail.



    To get detail good enough to show cars requires a big lens or telescope pointing at the ground from a LOW orbit. Like 200 or 300 miles up. The low orbit means 2 things. 1, you can't hover over one spot; you are always moving rapidly over the ground. You only pass over a given spot once every few days. 2, from that close you can only see a small area at a time, maybe a hundred miles wide or whatever.



    Weather satellites are in geostationary orbit, 22,000 miles up. They can hover in one place forever and see continents and large scale cloud patterns, but not small things like buildings or cars.Are there any sites that have live satellite feeds of the earth?
    NASA.com is the closest you'll get.

I found it useful to locate streets and unmarked streets the map quest did not show. And to visually see what the area looked like, instead of a drawing.

    What are Satellites capabilities for zooming close up to the earth at night?

    I recently learned about google maps option of street view for satellite imagery. I could see houses in close up detail from all angles of the street, aswell as people in close up detail from multiple angles walking down the street. My question is what are the highest level production of satellites capable of viewing and from what distances/clarity at night time? Who owns them? Is there such thing as long distance thermal imaging? Long distance X-Ray? Long distance land Sonar? Anything on this subject would be interesting.What are Satellites capabilities for zooming close up to the earth at night?
    My question is what are the highest level production of satellites capable of viewing and from what distances/clarity at night time?



    The answer is that the answer is classified. Keep in mind tho, that back when the highest resolution that civilian sat imagery was 5 meters, governments were viewing with todays 2 meter resolution or better. So in general, the civilian market is restricted to tech several generations behind that which is available to governments. The limit is imposed for "reasons of national security".



    Who owns them?



    Governments and private companies / corporations under contract with the government.



    Is there such thing as long distance thermal imaging?



    Yes, but it it's resolution is not nearly as good as visible spectrum imaging. Commonly used in meteorology and astronomy.



    Long distance X-Ray?



    Yes, but they are not used for terrestrial viewing. They are used in astronomy to view the xrays emitted by extraterrestrial bodies (such as stars and black holes).



    Long distance land Sonar?



    No possible, satellites are positioned in orbit beyond our atmosphere and sound cannot be transmitted without a medium. Modern satellites use radar instead of sound for purposes such as mapping and observing weather.



    @wilde_space

    The high resolution top down images featured on google earth are actually composed using a variety of methods including (but not limited to) airplanes, government satellites, and civilian satellites.



    Google initially purchased their satellite imagery from sources such as microsoft (terraserver), noaa, nasa, and the dod. They didnt not capture it all by themselves. I believe google actually took over terraserver and thereby gained all their existing satellite data.
    Google Street View is done by cars with special cameras. From the Ground. Most of Google Earth is actually done by aircraft, not by satellites.



    Most optical Earth observation satellites are watching the Earth directly below them, and rarely are better than 1 meter resolution. The best I am aware of is 50 cm resolution for special products.



    Thermal imaging is observing in Infrared(IR), which is also done by optical satellites. Most such satellites actually use IR, because you can see differences in vegetation and temperature that way. X Ray is not used, since most things on Earth don't emit X-Ray radiation. Sonar doesn't work in space, since sound requires a medium to travel through, and can't pass the vacuum. What is used are radar satellites, which are better than optical because clouds don't disturb them.



    Satellite Cameras that rely on visible light (what your eyes can see), can't work at night, only IR and Radar works then. Most satellites that observe things in visible light are in sun-synchronous orbit, which means they pass all objects at the same local times, for example early in the morning and late in the evening.What are Satellites capabilities for zooming close up to the earth at night?
    Street view is not from satellites. It's from a van that was driving along those streets. The hi-rez top-down photos are not from satellites either, they're from planes.



    Satellites owned by the military are very good and can detect things down to 10 cm in size, but any Information about them is classified. I have no idea about the night capabilities of satellites, sorry.



    This article should help you more: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SatelliteWhat are Satellites capabilities for zooming close up to the earth at night?
    Here are some satellites with their resolutions. Panchromatic is essentially B%26amp;W, multispectral is colour and night is infrared.

    GeoEye-1: 41 centimetres panchromatic and 1.65 meter multispectral and at night

    Pleiades 1 and 2: 0.5 meter and 2 meter

    WorldView-2: 0.5 meter panchromatic

    SPOT-5: resolution 2.5 meter in panchromatic mode, 10 meter multispectral and at night

    Landsat 7: 15 meter and 30 meter



    All data from the French SPOT site, where you can find a lot more satellites: http://www.satimagingcorp.com/satellite-鈥?/a>



    The Google images are taken by all sorts of means, but mainly by plane. maps.google.fr uses SPOT images when available and have a better resolution for mainland France.



    Finally Google streetview photos were taken with cars like this one: http://www.zorgloob.com/images/google-ca鈥?/a>
    lets just say that they can see whether you are smokin a joint or a cigarette

    Doesn't it seem like Google, Walmart, and Starbucks have the ability for world conquest?

    Think about it:



    Google has the advantage of knowing every inch of the planet thanks to Google Earth and it's Street View. i.e. "Home Field Advantage"



    Starbucks has the strategic advantage of being located EVERYWHERE, even inside buildings.



    And Walmart has the ability, even the experience, to find a competitors weakness and destroying them.



    Mix those 3 together, and we're all doomed. :ODoesn't it seem like Google, Walmart, and Starbucks have the ability for world conquest?
    Pshh, I knew this was coming long ago.

    The original definition of "Apocalypse" is "The day, and time around when, Starbucks, Google and Wal-Mart take over the planet.", But Wal-Mart and Google had it changed to "A wide-spread destruction".
    They already have conquest, they're so smart they just dont want us knowing it.



    Our only hope is Macgyver.Doesn't it seem like Google, Walmart, and Starbucks have the ability for world conquest?
    Haha, they are planning now as we speak.Doesn't it seem like Google, Walmart, and Starbucks have the ability for world conquest?
    hehehehe, Starbucks came to Australia... most of them died out.

    Gloria Jeans FTW (or just FA - For Aus).

    Haven't yet seen a Walmart in Aus.

    As for Google, I'm scared after seeing a program that talks about how they take data from you, enough to create a 'virtual you'. For some reason i still use google chrome.
    Imagine if they did a merger. Where's my meds!
    you have no idea what we have planned lol
    google yes

    starbucks, maybe



    walmart? Well, they need to be worldwide first, no?



    IKEA has better chances than walmart
    no only walmart does

  • Google Earth question..?

    Whenever I get closer and closer to a location,the angle of the camera will level out a street view.I hate this! Is there any way to just keep it like the old way?Google Earth question..?
    don't click on street view, or don't zoom in so far.Google Earth question..?
    No, just remember you can only zoom in so far, then the picture will start to tilt.

    Why has Google Earth?

    Blocked out the street view of the shanty town of Bapsfontein, A suburb of Johannesburg SA.Why has Google Earth?
    Because twilight fans live there.Why has Google Earth?
    Some places have banned it and others have asked not to be put there..

    Some places are not important enough..

    Take your pick.



    PWhy has Google Earth?
    Maybe it had a shot of naked person or some such in it. A lady who got caught in Google Earth passed out drunk on her lawn wrote to Google about it and they removed it.

    Google Earth/Maps effect car simulator?

    Is there a thing on the internet somewhere that you can like do the street view thing but actually drive along the roads? like a car simulator or something.Google Earth/Maps effect car simulator?
    No there isn't I'm afraid, at least not at the moment. All they are at present are a series of photographs that overlap going up a road.



    As Arfen says there is only a flight simulator in Google Earth where you can either fly a F16 jet fighter or a small SR22 mono plane.Google Earth/Maps effect car simulator?
    Not that i know of.



    but,



    google earth has a built in flight sim.

    Is Falls Community Centre (277 Falls Road) a recording studio / band practice area?

    My sister said she knows the owner and that it's a recording studio and band practice area, but she didn't tell me the address, just the general area, so I looked up street-view on Google Earth to get the area and found a stand-offish building, and asked her if it was 277 Falls Road and she said yes. Is this the right address? If it is, when do they open for bands to practice?Is Falls Community Centre (277 Falls Road) a recording studio / band practice area?
