    OK, so I don't know if this is the right section for this discussion, but...

    I live in the North of Scotland and Google Maps / Google Earth just show it all as a vauge cloudy mess.

    I wish they would fly over it with a camera ;)

    Are you saying it's NOT all "a vague cloudy mess"? :confused:

    Hehe, you can easily see my parents cars where I live in London. As you go further out of big cities though it tends to go into a worse quality. London seems to have a better quality than New York though too.... it's weird.
    I hope they're still developing it, it's very impressive, especially the 3D building bit.

    Surely there wouldn't be much to see in Dufftown anyway?
    Scotland will get better as it rolls out

    It might look like a vague cloudy mess to you but those are actually high resolution photos of the sheep. ;)

    Sheep mess isn't really all that vague, is it?

    Ye're deluded! Scotland is almost sub-tropical -- some days in the summer the temperature can reach 10 degrees C. :p

    Why would they look for stolen cars in Scotland, anyway? They're much easier to sell in London ...

    LOL @ Sammy:

    Is this your first visit back to DP since LAST New Year's Eve? :)

    Did you ever let Googlebot out of your forum? or is the poor bastard still lost in one of those threads? :D
