I'm not sure it's broadband only Filla. Why not put in your zip code and wait for a load? I think if you want to roam you'll struggle but for a single pic?
Hows the enquiries into sattelite broadband?
yeap, its the total shit Burnsy!
its so damn accurate, eventhough the pics are from a few years ago, its still damn impressive.
Cant wait til all the road maps and street names and building are available for the entirety of europe AND the rest of the world.
Would be damn fascinating!

I don't wanna roam Burnsy. I just want a pic of my land.
SatDSL is killer. It'd cost me about 4oo bucks for the equipment and 50 a month for service. I'll stay with dialup for now:D

I'll tell you this Cel. A house down the road had a huge concrete drive put in last August and it's there! No more than 4 months old round our way. You can even see the girlies car by its color!!
I looked at Grass Valley in California and I can't see where I was there. It just doesn't go into enough detail. Carpinteria has good detail off the Ventura Freeway. I can see the camping pitch we used to use.:eek:
Fuggin amazing and having used some of these before, the free ones were always restrictive. The free version of this is a blinder.
well done Google thats all I can say. 2thumbs

Strange thing is, although a new concrete drive is on the images, a new building across town isn't that was built at the same time. Maybe theres some sort of auto update going on with it?
Filla. 400 bucks and 50 a month? It's the equipment that sucks and the supplier should lease the equipment for the length of contract. That way 50 bucks a month isn't so bad.
I pay £40/$64 for 3 meg ADSL with free calls 24/7. You must be remote to not have cable in the states Filla.
