Google Earth and other GPS (latitude/longitude) lookup software

[P. Burrows]

yes,no,yes,no
it really really needs broadband but will run on dialup.

if they really wanted it could be very effective spyware and no need for
it to report anything, given that one of the first things most people do
is zoom into their city/suburb/property/section of new roof

and try not to run googleearth and googlevideo at the same time


And altitude, apart from a few gliches.
Flashearth livelocal is more realistic , google makes the world look
hopelessly
green and lush.

They do need to be color corrected yeah

Yes Google Earth is cool (since they are using their images without
permission)

I'm aware flashearth uses Google because it has the Google logo in
the bottom left hand corner. But what makes you think they're using
it without permission? You may be right but I'd very surprised.

The initial flash screen shows the following text:

"Flash Earth is an experimental application using satellite and aerial
imagery from Google Local and Windows Live Local without permission."

Fwiw, Google doesn't ask for permission either so...<shrugs>...
