Re: Google Earth
I think it's just a free (and modified a bit) version of Keyhole which has been released since Google bought them out.

[edit: Since it prompted me to remove my old version of Keyhole 2 NV, I'll rephrase it and say that it IS a free version of Keyhole]

Re: Google Earth
Yup, free keyhole = yum

I'm thinking about getting the Plus version so I can up my GPS receiver in the car.

I found these images online last year, and the photos are dated 07/25/03. It would be interesting to compare these to Google Earth to see if any changes (construction,etc) have taken place.

Re: Google Earth
Something interesting in noticed when playing around with maps.google.com

when you look at the entire nation from a satellite page, you will notice certain states that stick out. These states have the highest zoom available in all places, not just large cities. Check it out.... http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=40.93...z=11&t=k&hl=en

You can see...Massachusetts, Indiana, and New Jersey. Why do the other states not have this same result?

Re: Google Earth
Is anyone having problems getting on the program?

It would appear as if some sort of firewall is blocking me from accessing their servers, but I don't have any enabled, and checked my router's settings, which seems to be the extent of what Google thinks could be wrong.

I had the free trial of Keyhole awhile ago, and was considering buying it. Sure am glad I didn't, now. At least I will be if I can ever get on

[edit] for further reference, I'm on a wireless router, which I think the problem is stemming from, as I can use the program from both of the other computers on the wired network.

Thanks for making FIRST such a great experience for me. I'm no longer on 1351, and I'm not currently planning to mentor team 97, but FIRST has meant so much in getting me to where I am now, in life and at MIT, class of 2011.
I met Billfred! He recognized me!
