| Google Earth This Is So Neat. I Have Had It Downloaded In Case I Needed It But I Never Had To Tinker With It Till Today But Its So Neat, You Download The Program Google Earth And It Will Show You Satellite Images Of Anywhere Around Earth. We Use It Here At Work To Locate Our Tanks On Leases And To Actually See Some Of The Surroundings Around Where Our Tanks Are Going And So I Opened This Up To Locate An Air Force Base We Were Going To And I Thought It Was So Neat Ive Been Looking Up My House And My Families In Arkansas And Anywhere, And Its Fairly Easy To Use. Go To Google.com And Search Google Earth And Then Click On The One That Says Google Earth And It Will Tell You About It And The You Click Download And It Will Begin Downloading And Then It Will Appear On Your Desktop And Then You Can Use It Its Really Neat

| It's very cool! But the picture of my parent's house was taken 3 years ago or so - because my aunt's explorer is parked in the driveway in the picture, and she moved to Canada 3 years ago!

| Okay, that is neat and all, but I hate for people to find me!! ((hee,hee)) - I am running from the law you know! ((J/K)) A lady at my mothers work printed off pictures of their house here and then their cabin....pretty neat. Dad didn't like it at all.....too much can be found out about you, he says....so true!

| I play with it all the time - looking for landmarks. There is another site - Terra Firma that sometimes has clearer shots. Did you know that Area 51 is blocked out? Can't see the Aliens wandering about. Check out the Great Wall of China, the Pyramids, Hoover Dam - amazing.
