Anyone play around with this? Being a geography geek I thought this was pretty sweet. The oblique aerials are pretty awesome. They've got Vegas and New York. I was even able to zoom in on my house.

If your a geography guy, check out google earth. Much better interface and you can zoom al over the world. I am litteraly addicted to it.

Right now I'm looking for the Pyramids. I refuse to look up the location. I just scour the egyptian desert. :-o

Google Earth is ok. Live Local's imagery is much sharper and has better resolution.

Pretty amazing what technology brings us. I haven't seen this one before, but I'm sure I'll have some fun playing with it later. :-)

Anyone have a link to an aerial view of Area 51? That would be awesome :-o

This is pretty cool! I like the "bird's eye" views of stuff.

Amazing that this stuff is free.

Man, I love the Internet!! ;-D

I love the fact that there is a golf course right next to the pyramids. :-b
