    I downloaded it yesterday and it is pretty cool - varying degrees of detail though depending on country and area of country - but brilliant none the less!

    It would be great to have this. But I can already see the future:

    people will check their emails while driving and chat in chat rooms. Maybe it needs to be voice activated and I believe it will be.

    I wouldn't doubt every vehicle having something like that built in in about 20 years.

    I've been playing with it for the last few days... The images are a few years old. I zoomed in on my house, I can see my wife's Jeep in the driveway, I sold that in 2003, and theres no pool in my backyard, which I installed the same year, so the images (at least of my area) are from 2003 or earlier.

    Very cool, though. I zoomed in on Englishtown Raceway Park (New Jersey), and there's a few people in the parking lot and two cars on the starting line!

    There are always updates and even says the exact date and the older version are archieved, you can even have a look at those archieves. You have to adjust your layers.

    They have added Ireland and I have a perfect use for it on one of my sites. I want to display the saved tour as a box on my site and have it run when someone visits.

    Their file format is obviously proprietory so I can't figure out how to get it to play without having to download the software.

    Has anyone succefully converted it as a mpeg or something similar?
