Not played with it that much but it is great fun. I did manage to find a huge crater that I originally spotted out of a plane window but didn't flag the thing and I can't find it anymore...

When we upgraded the forum software for Anglers' Net a few years ago, many of the links from the old forum were broken. Part of my 'job' for early 2009 is to fix these, which I have done so for this thread. I haven't checked the destinations, I've just made them 'clickable' to the address that they used to goo to, so please PM me if you find any that have moved, giving as much detail as possible. Some of the links may have been 'unclickable', if it was impossible to work out what they should have been.

 

The only way I can spot relevant threads is a report in the server logs that somebody has recently tried to click a broken link. For that reason, I'm tagging this post onto each thread that is affected, as it may be that the member who clicked it will want to try again.

 

I'm hoping that the threads may be of interest to other members, though, and some old discussions may continue.

What the hell is 'Google Eath'

[Ken L]

Google earth is a downloadable application that combines satalite inagery of the entire globe with arial photography and topographical information to provide a fully searchable global map. But it's much more than just a map. You can search for locations by name, you can change the viewing angle so that instead of looking down on your target, you can overfly it. You can also zoom in and check out possible fishing locations almost anywhere on the planet.

In those areas covered by arial photography, some high resolution images such as this one of Blackpool's Stanley Park pool are available.

I was having a look last week and clicked on one of the you tube links to have a look and it was of a young guy abusing somebody in the street while his mate was hiding with the mobile phone

 

( i think ) when the abused guy approached the abuser he got head butted and chased up the street

 

This is not something that should be on google earth but im afraid it will become more prevalent in the future and spoil the whole thing.

 

IMO While you tube has some very interesting subjects its time they policed it better.

 

Cheers Fred

I'd rather they policed the streets and locked the scum up. Edited February 1, 2009 by corydoras
