Thumbs up Google Earth See Gilmours house or My House

Google Earth is amazing! I am obsessed with maps. It's so detailed. You can see the earth from outer space and zoom in all the way to the house you grew up in. I seriously felt choked up when I saw the park I used to play in and the church where my parents used to take me. try it its a free application

http://earth.google.com/


I also got to see Abbey Road Studios (just type Abbey Road studios)

It feels like you are Superman, flying from Mexico city to Cairo in 5 seconds.

Am I the only one fascinated with this?

Re: Google Earth See Gilmours house or My House

oh no I play around on it all the time, it's a great time killer. I find it ironic how fascinated I am by looking at a place I go to everyday on a map Ie. my house, work, store..beats me I think its dank

Can't wait for the day when they'll make detailed maps of the entire world and not just the US/North America/UK....

Re: Google Earth See Gilmours house or My House

Possibly because Edinburgh is...well...just not very important?

I looked at my neighborhood, and from the best I can tell, the images are about 4 years old, judging from construction in the area, etc.

Re: Google Earth See Gilmours house or My House

yeah 4 years or more. Because on the satellite image of my house, there's still a pool in the backyard. We got rid of the pool in 2002.

I don't give a shit about zooming in on anything what you can zoom in on, as if America isn't in your face enough already.
