1. Crappy section of the Strip

Looks like DI and LV Blvd, where the new Wynn casino's at. They need to go farther south for something more glamorous.

2. No it isn't

It's utterly worthless.

5. Damn, shot down.

You don't like it?:shrug:

6. Nope

I checked my area - it looked like somewhere in the Amazon, didn't pick up one house in the neighborhood, didn't distinguish any small bodies of water, etc.

A goofy service that has no practical value.

[ahem]

10. Did you zoom in all the way?

When I look at my street I can even make out the pool in my neighbor's back yard.

3. It's interesting what you CAN'T see...

I assume it's images sourced from NASA. The roof of the White House, for example, is obscured, as are sections of the Niagara River, but only where the power generating plants are.

I guess it's "anti-terrorism".

4. Google Maps is now on my fave sites list

I have been looking at many cities and other notable locations in the Satellite pics.

11. The airplane graveyard is particularily cool

[frictionlessO]

13. Very cool, I can't believe some of the oldies I see there!

F-14s and F-111s, E-2s even! I feel very very old now... I got to go there a couple of times back in the 80s and it was all f-4s and A-7s...

14. If I lived in those houses when I was a teen, just north

of the graveyard, that place would be a gold mine. I would spend days in there!

12. the satellite image of my neighborhood is quite old.

I see the construction work they were doing about 5 years ago.
