OK, I am easily impressed and my apologies if this has been mentioned on here before but I have only just seen it.

Go and download it, and stick in your postcode, especially you Songsheet as it may even be able to pick out some of your cows in your fields!

Amazing, absolutely amazing.

Watch out Mircosoft, Google are certainly coming up with some excellent initiatives with their software and those really useful satellites.

It's brilliant, isn't it? Terrible time waster too, you can spend hours hovering over racecourses from Belmont to Longchamp to Leopardstown!

My two eldest girls, Daisy and Molly, love playing with it. Mollys world revolves around Faringdon where we live and Milton Keynes where we used to live. Daisy looks at the rest of the world and is inquisitive enough for the both of them :lol:

No probs, Merlin - it's a fantastic site. I think it was MarkEE who put it up originally, and I liked it enough to save it to my 'Favourites'.

This is mesmerizing

Just makes me want to pack a bag and go visit some of these fascanating places for real. I just travelled from my house to the grand canyon to new york, a quick stop off at greenland and then on to a vintage clothes shop in London!

I`ve had this for awhile, and i dont know what i`m doing wrong, but apart from big cities everywhere is a blur.

Living in a cold, damp, stinking little flat with my not usually very happy brother for the last 18 months with no internet!

Have now moved back to my mums for a few months with broadband, sky t.v, home cooked meals and best of all.........warmth!!!

It took me a little while to get the hang of the tilts and joystick, but now that I have... could someone pass the airsick bag, please? What with Triptych's wonderful Panda Cam and this, I'll never want to leave home.
