1. I like how you can see our military base in Iraq on that program

It's a few miles northwest of Tikrit.

2. Yea, it's way cool...

I found my house and can see the car I ahd back in 2002

3. How old are the images?

Is it stated somewhere?

[Clintmax]

4. I've looked...but all they state is...

The images were taken sometime in the past three years. Still...is so awesome!

5. My house looks accurate...

I was just hoping I could find out how often they updated (if they do).

8. Some must be fairly recent

My next door neighbour had his big trailer parked in his back yard two weeks ago for about a week and it showed up.

9. Wow...then that really IS recent! n/t

[MercutioATC]

20. I'll have to start leaving my car outside and check.

I wonder how often they update.

6. Try these coordinates

50º 50' 57.92"N, 5º 41' 45.01"E

A special prize to anyone who knows what it is, and... when it was built.

[Clintmax]

7. Ok...so where do you enter coordinates? n/t

[salvorhardin]

11. You can enter them right into the Fly To area

Here's decimal coordinates which will make it a little easier.
50.849167, 5.695833

12. OK I see it....

You're talking about the bridge, right?

[salvorhardin]

13. Yes, the southern bridge.

What is it (other than a bridge) and when was it built?

[Clintmax]

16. I haven't the faintest idea.

Stumped, I say!

[salvorhardin]

18. Sorry, had to go out for a bit.

It's just an old Roman bridge. The original was built somewhere during the reign of Augustus Caesar but it's been rebuilt a few times over the course of history. The current version of the bridge has only been there since about 1280.

10. My god! It's a giant coffee bean!

I must worship the goddess!!

14. Co-ordinates locked in! Arm the death ray!

Pretty from up here, isn't it?



My house! (Brown roof in the middle, north of the two with pools)



The terrain feature kicks ass. Too bad it's only set up for stuff inside the US...

15. Aaannnddd.....FIRE!
