What do you guys think of google Earth?
« on: January 27, 2012, 03:38:32 PM »
For those of you who don't know Google Earth is a map of the entire globe that is created from satellite images, you can zoom in any where. Give it a try and find your house or anything else that is on the globe.

http://www.google.com/earth/download/thanks.html#os=win#chrome=yes#chromedefault=yes#updater=yes

This updates every few hours (try moving your car or something if you don't believe me), how the hell would they ever be able to do this without satellite images?? Have cameras in all the clouds on earth? (Please do not start another crazy conspiracy off of this please)

Some places update more regularly then others. Regardless move your car somewhere, that you know no planes fly over. Check back in a few days and your car will be on google earth.

This is an awesome topic! Google is undoubtedly in league with the space agencies to further this enormous conspiracy to make money!

Seriously, why have not more people responded to this?

How DO you explain Google Earth?
You have the right to believe in whatever you want. I also have the right to believe that you're a (Bleep)ing idiot!

I would open one of the many links Tausami included above and read there.  Again this has all been said before.  It is nothing new.
Why do we fall back to earth? Because our weight pushes us down, no laws, no gravity pulling us. It is the law of intelligence.

So is it a few days or a few hours? Also, to get more frequent updates you would have to be in an area where planes fly over.

Not all the imagery in Google Earth comes from satellites. A lot of the imagery comes from aerial photographers mostly in airplanes with special high resolution cameras. Some of the imagery even comes from kites and balloons. Google acquires imagery from a variety of providers. Some of the imagery is given to Google by city or state governments. The age of the imagery varies greatly, but most of the high resolution imagery is between 6 months and 5 years of age. Again, because the imagery comes from a variety of sources, the process to get this imagery into Google Earth is complex and involves a great deal of time and effort.

Where do you live that your car was updated 3 days later?

Some places don't update for over a year at least. Maybe longer.

Look, the REers are arguing among themselves and the lies they spread.  Another win for FE!

Yeah, because James, John Davis, Thork, Pizza Pizzaz, Levee, Master Lord Of Teh Admiralty Willmire and Tom Bishop all agree on everything, right?

Isn't that his proper title? Everyone seems to show him extreme deference when speaking of him.

I think zarg is trying to educate these poor fellows in a nicer manner so they don't get their ass handed to them in every thread they make. Its a lost cause.

I think his full title would be Comte Abbè Edmond Dantès des Montecristo.
