True, but Terrafly pales in comparison with what Google Earth can do. And I'm sure it will only improve in terms of resolution. I bought Keyhole and now have GE and am using it to plan the configuration of a home and studio on some land we own.Chase wrote:where have you guys been? terrafly did this 2 years ago...
And it's great fun to fly around in 3D with your music in the background! Cheaper than airline tickets and never any clouds.

i don't get it why it cannot connect to google servers.. it's neither a firewall issue (even turned it off), nor do i proxy, and i can ping that servers.. but it won't bloody run
and why is it complaining that it cannot activate my account? i thought the basic version was free?

You should try Downtown New Orleans - They've mapped the buildings to 3D blocks, and you can actually walk down the street between the buildings.Wopelka wrote:And plus: the relief: just go travelling through the Alpine valleys (or in the Himalaya ones) in semi-horizontal view... gorgeous!!!
Tres cool.
Trying to change the world by posting on a forum is like crying on the Sun to put it out.

I'll try that - I'm flew out to our Houston office on Sunday with a plan to fly out to New Orleans to see a customer today, but the visit was cancelled 'cos of the hurricane - I guess Google Earth is the next best thing!Squonk wrote:You should try Downtown New Orleans - They've mapped the buildings to 3D blocks, and you can actually walk down the street between the buildings.Wopelka wrote:And plus: the relief: just go travelling through the Alpine valleys (or in the Himalaya ones) in semi-horizontal view... gorgeous!!!

i tried, but the city is flat here, no reliefSquonk wrote:You should try Downtown New Orleans - They've mapped the buildings to 3D blocks, and you can actually walk down the street between the buildings.Wopelka wrote:And plus: the relief: just go travelling through the Alpine valleys (or in the Himalaya ones) in semi-horizontal view... gorgeous!!!

"adjust tilt" until the horizon appears, you see what i mean?
the city is "paint" in 2D, which is very cool already.
now, enter "kathmandu, nepal" in the search "fly to" engine. once there, adjust tilt, and go to the north. enjoy!
