    Here's a mirror I found: <a href='http://s38.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=3DANBU9U2Q41K33JXGRNDZQZER' target='_blank'>http://s38.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=3DANBU9...1K33JXGRNDZQZER</a>

    Incase you didn't get it before they closed down.

    Well, zooming in on some obscure Austrailian desert is still kinda blurry, but urban areas are really sharp. Like, burning cars with smoke and ect. sharp.

    Just when I thought I've seen it all. I can zoom in on Bridgetown, Antigua in the Virgin Islands with fairly sharp detail. I took a look at all the islands I visited on my cruise as a matter of fact. If you have not been on a cruise, do it. It is one of the most awesome experiences ever. And the food...oh God the food...ermm right, back to Google Earth. Very good program, if they work out some of the kinks then it will be better.

    Pyramids? pfft. Why settle with that when you can get DRIVING DIRECTIONS to Area 51!

    There's even crazier stuff out there in the desert though. Such as:
    - The <a href='http://www.nv.doe.gov/news&pubs/photos&films/crater.htm' target='_blank'>Sedan Crater</a>: <a href='http://www.doomaniac.com/stuff/Google%20Earth/Sedan%20Crater.kmz' target='_blank'>Sedan Crater.kmz</a>
    - A holy (as in, full of holes!) bomb site: <a href='http://www.doomaniac.com/stuff/Google%20Earth/Explosions.kmz' target='_blank'>Explosions.kmz</a>
    - Not one but two wierd triangles in the Nevada desert: <a href='http://www.doomaniac.com/stuff/Google%20Earth/West%20Triangle.kmz' target='_blank'>West Triangle.kmz</a> <a href='http://www.doomaniac.com/stuff/Google%20Earth/East%20Triangle.kmz' target='_blank'>East Triangle.kmz</a>
    - A dummy airbase (perhaps used for target practise?): <a href='http://www.doomaniac.com/stuff/Google%20Earth/Fake%20Airbase.kmz' target='_blank'>Fake Airbase.kmz</a>
    - And of course, <a href='http://www.doomaniac.com/stuff/Google%20Earth/DOOM's%20Apartment.kmz' target='_blank'>my Apartment</a>!

    That's really wierd, two identical triangles with the same target symbol in them. Anyone have anymore info on these?

    Supposedly they're air force bombing targets, but I dunno why they'd go to such lengths to carve something into the ground only to bomb it. Much easier just to make a building or something.

    if you guys didn't notice, they don't take very good pics of military bases :[ seeing as i almost always lived on a militray base i can only see 2 out of the 7 places i used to live =/

    "ground zero" - I wonder why there's so much construction work when they don't even know what they're building there yet...

    I only got this last night so am new myself ... but in the upper left search button put the name of your city/country and it should zoom into it.

    After that you can select/deselect image overlays such as schools, gas stations, cemeteries etc that are landmarks, making it easier.
