Google Earth

[kangaroosa]

Its telling me "Google Earth has detected a network error". It's official........i'm a dumbass. I've had enough for tonight. Maybe you can take a screen capture and post it up, if its worth while.

would i be correct in thinking its the building that is built like a swastika?

[Ruts]

Yeah - whats the go with that ??

[Super Jamie]

there's some old yellow trees in a green forest somewhere in europe, also shaped like a swastika. an old remenant from ww2

 

worse still, there's a country whose capitol building has 5 corners, like a pentagram, the sign of the devil :P

Its amazing what you can see when you are given a new set of eyes :P

 

I would imagine this would of have been black technology at one stage, my guess is the technology is from early spy satilite era.

 

I would love to see the 3D verson.

Theres been alot of development around my area, so I could determine how old the photos are quite easily... they range between 6-12 mths of age...

[Ke50]

google has been taking photos for the last 2-4 years. ive had this for ages!

thats where i got the birds eye of darlington park from, which is in the go-karting thread on the first page :P

I didn't mean the photos are from cold war era, i meant the tech is, makes u wonder what the gov is using now.

Well my old man wanted to put up a shed in the backyard of his place in Toowoomba and the council dragged up similar images to determine if he had room.

 

They even had a go at him for chopping down a tree that was in the old images but not in the new ones.

 

So if local council have good current data what does the rest of the world have ??

Might add, if you want to see what they currently call 3D look up New Orleans, they did that in 3d.

Before the flood that is.

most of the pictures in the free version are like the first pass the satelite did. the free version gives you better bandwith to their server, as well as images that are no more than 3 months old. $400 a year aint that bad.

Here is the 3D snap
