Google Earth

[Sheridan]

Anybody been playing with this? (http://earth.google.com/) Much higher resolution than its predecessor, maps.google.com. For anyone who's not familiar with the programme, it utilises satellite imagery to construct a zoomable mosaic-type map of the world, with major urban areas visible in minute detail. The Dublin map is a lot of fun.

Check out Tolka Park - the SFC lettering at the Ballybough End is clearly visible (must have been captured on a match day!) If you peer closely, you may just discern the image of Bobby Ryan sprawling on his arse.

Pretty cool thing I must admit. I was a big fan of google map and sattellite and looks like they've topped that again.

Welcome, frustrated would-be planet surfer.

We appreciate your interest in accessing 3D geospatial information, but due to the technical limitations of this beta launch, Google Earth has been forced to take a brief breather. Please check back with us soon.

Translates as:

"It is techincally limited in that it does not work."
