I think google earth is a better program than this.

https://earth.google.com/

Download it!  It gives you 3D buildings in the big cities and loads much faster.

Here's my neighbourhood:

I downloaded earth.google and it is indeed a better programme. The thing which puzzles me greatly is why half of a city is in very sharp focus and the other half very blurry. This happens with Auckland, where the North Shore is amazingly clear but in the city and southern suburbs it is hardly possible to discern individual streets, never mind houses. I looked at other cities around the globe and found the same thing. It all seems very arbitrary as quite often the city centres, presumably of greater interest, are blurry while odd suburbs are very sharp.

Does anybody know why this is so ?

Some of the pictures are aeriel photos, some satellite edit: and there's elevation data on the google earth thing too.

The places they cover with the former aren't as extensive. The resolution you can get with the latter varies too, but I think the real "wow" ones are all from aeroplanes.

Where I live isn't covered, I've been in the swimming pool on this photo though [I think I've posted it before]

Cumberland, Ontario, can't zoom in any more.. but it's in the general area...

If you see where it says "old montreal road"... go down a tiny bit... then right... there should be alot of green aka forest... with brown squiglish lines aka road... im in the middle of that.

I think my house is around here:

https://www.flashearth.com/?lat=51.589877&lon=-1.446746&z=14.6&r=0&src=0

I live between Wantage and East Challow. Wantage is a great town with great vibes, but those damned townies/chavs do ruin it sometimes.
