This is crazy... too bad they don't have even finer detail. It would be cool to be able to get close enough to tell what kind of cars are on the road.

I can see my car parked at my work.

It has not been there for over 8 months so the pics are kinda old.

It is still incredible though. Enabling the buildings in a populated city (new york city) is insane, all 3-d models.

No word of a lie...when you dl this program on your home computer there is a category for sightseeing and area 51 isone of the places already programmed in.
