Google Earth

Post by Satellite » 12th Dec, '08, 16:32

How do I use it? Is it free?

I tried but only got diagrammatical/pictorical images.

Can someone post the link of google earth where I can get satellite images? And how to use it would be better!

What do you want to use it for, Sati? Google Maps does everything I need and has satellite images.

edit: http://maps.google.com/

You can customise and save maps. Great for house hunting. ;)

Do you reckon if you used a well know internet search engine you may be able to find it? Now, which internet search engine shall I use......hmmmmm.....

Though after the inital "oooh" factor, you don't use it. Must take it off the home pc.

They are both supposed to be the same location.

Unfortunately, I am not going to use it for any exciting things. Just work so will be using it lots.
