How does that work, all I get is a map with loads of red squares?

Yeah I zoomed in on that map and got no futher then a drawn map.
Just enter your street name on the leftside of the map then zoom in on that and you'll get a "real" image.

Do you have bionic eyes??

You'd be doing well to see reg plates on this picture

I remember somewhere on iol.ie you could zoom in alot closer.

even if this was taken a few thousand yyears ago there were definitely rivers in ireland back then.

Nah they only dug them a few years back, anyway, the cameras on satellites werent as good back then.

With Google you can zoom into roof-top level but only for the USA Conurbanations :- New York, LA etc. Is their any site offering this facility for Ireland ? It would be cool to see what my neigbourhood looks like from the air.

hang on can someone please put up a pic that you can actualy see the reg plates cause i can't find any.

oh yeah i forgot to say that the google images are a year or so old so they aren't the most accurate ever

Here we go, as promised..
Image 1 is the Slieve Bloom mountains.. enhanced to show vegetation loss (blue)
Image 2 is an image of the Burren showing Limestone as Pink

Image 'visible range' is a true colour image of the Blessington Lakes.. you can also see Naas in the top left of the pic.

I don't have the Ones I was goin to put up of San Francisco.. but hope you like these Chalk.

The picture that started this thread is available from NASA's official site, probably originated there actually. So to those that doubt its authenticity im sure NASA wouldnt have it in their satellite imagery if it were fake, although with all the moon landing conspiracies you never know

i remember the IOL one, that was cool

rugbug86 · 20-06-2005 09:02PM

and how do you get a picture instead of a map?

Type in an address on the righthand side of the map.

thanks

saw my house and my place of work. pics were taken AGES ago, i work in the type of place that you'll notice from above and everything is different,and it changed about 5 or 6 years ago, maybe more!

what would you expect from ComReg? They're so behind the times they make the discovery of fire look like a mod con.

When looking at the keyhole software I found they were more up to date. My house is reletively new and it actually appeared on their pictures (albeit in the progress of being built)

Keyhole?

Thats noting to do with comred the photos are all provided by MapFlow. Same service that myhome.ie use.

rymus · 20-06-2005 11:28PM

my mistake.. I just like to belittle ComReg at any half decent opportunity

Keyhole 7 day free trail

Not bad but only covers cities and built up areas.
If you life in the country you'll just see a blur.
