    Found a cool little program called KeyHole Pro 2 that lets ya find any location in the world and even zoom down to street level in most big cities!

    Random Sample of Dublin (ya can zoom in at least another 2000ft)

    Ya can download a 7 day trial from here: http://toolbar.google.com/keyhole/Keyhole2PRO-2.2.990.exe

    Big Brother is watching you :eek:

    a requirement they say is a 128k internet connection and i can see why. it is constantly updating the image as you move the camera. this program would be painful on dial up i'd say

    No it's not but it should just mean that you have to wait longer to update the images, a modem is only 56k.

    128k != 40k

    Welcome to the world of dialup internet.

    Weird, last time i had keyhole (a few months ago) they didn't have any pictures of Ireland.

    I think the images will show up on maps.google.com soon so.

But i did get to see area 51 just a few hundred miles from my aunt in alamo NV, we were going to chance going near there when i was over but there were white suv's parked either side of the road, very scary, (bit off topic)

    http://www.siteviewer.ie/siteviewer/site_search.asp - like most of the aerial photography it's a few years old and only does the main cities - but it's free.

    Thats Noting

    These are way clearer and completely free and can zoom in WAY more....

    This is Clarehall on the Malahide Road, Top left corner is where the new "Hilton" Hotel has just been build and bottom left is where the "Tesco Clarehall" shopping centre is. In the middle of the image is the GYM "Total Fitness". There are newer images of these area but at time of post i couldnt access the site.
