Re: #14: @DAVE_007 - I may, in the future, zoom in on

hmm..well GoogleEarth still has it's advantages with
measuring tools, you can tilt to show terrain features, etc.
and it will show you some places
pretty good where as Virtual Earth won't..
like Area 51...oh, yeah...I forgot..it doesn't exist..LOL..

I may, in the future, zoom in on some 'historical' places and and take screen shots and start me a scrapbook of sorts over on
my PhotoBucket..like the Alamo for example..

not to mention taking shots of various casinos, other places of interest, etc, i have been too..

Re: #12: @DAVE_007 - I could spend hours with this...fascinating...

and don't forget about your F11 button..

I zoomed in on like my dad's property etc., hit birds eye, then hit the F11 button and that does away with all the tool bar stuff up top of screen and give you a pretty much full screen..
THEN I take a screen shot..save to file..
then I upload that screenshot to Walmart Photo Department and have a 5X7 or 8X10 made and they turn out very good..

my elderly dad got a kick out of seeing his property from different angles and a 'birds' eye view...

(when you hit F11 button again everything, your toolbars and such come back to the way they were..)

Re: #11: @Mariner* - venice, italy // Boats underway and everything

I could spend hours with this...fascinating...
you can check out your neighborhood, or town or whatever..

here's a comparison of Hamilton Place in my neck of the woods..TN's largest Mall, 2 story, over 200 stores under one roof..
a GoogleEarth vs Virtual Earth shot..for example..

Re: #9: @DAVE_007 - Yes..it puts GoogleEarth to shame..

That's exactly what I was thinking, we heard that government satellites could read news print from space years ago.
Now they can probably tell you what kind of paper it is.

Microsoft Virtual Earth is a cool tool...

Birds eye feature is rather very current,
rather super clear pictures unlike Google Earth..

Big Brother is watching us..LOL..

I may put screenshots over here of interesting places, etc.

Feel free to chime in..and/or contribute to the board..
