For about 5 years.
From "earthviewer" to "keyhole" and now it's "google earth" and free.
Way cool.

It misses my address by one house, but it's fun to see that the picture of the huge tree has been updated since Terraserver days.
Also found my old dump in Washington, DC.
Great application.

4. Yeah, it's been a few houses off about half the time. |
|
Really cool though. The view of my workplace is way outdated though, by at least 2 years.

I was using NASA Worldwind, but Google Earth is much faster.
It makes you realize how small our planet is.

6. I can't get the street level part to work. |

Of course, I'm not the most computer literate person in the world either.

10. If you live in a less urban area, the resolution might be lower. |
|
The high-res images only seem to be in heavily-populated areas.
