yea its a cool program, here is one area we ride, cant zoom in to much its pretty big, its a large area that a dump owns, we even ride in the acutally dump area, pretty fun jumps when it doesnt smell, but we ride pretty much that whole area in the screen

Yes depends if anyone uploaded detailed aerials to the server or not, if you have any you can add it yourself and it will upload to the main server.

anyways here is my Rock in the Atlantic Ocean :)

i just downloaded and tried using it, its pretty nice but sometimes when i try to zoom in on different places, it stays fuzzy and blurred, and doesnt really make a clear picture....does the satelite only have good picture of like, big cities or somethin?

You have to give it time, it downloads the detailed images off the main server...

If every image was in the program you would not have enough hard drive space.

Whats the zipcode you ride at???

Exactly what I just yelled out to myself at 5am! :eek:

Then I yelled out I should get my butt to work... then yelled out WTF am I yelling to myself... then I quietly said to myself I should turn the light on in the turtle aquarium... Then I yelled out it's FRIDAY! :D Should be another interesting day for my co-workers...

btw... yep, Google Earth is great! ;)

Look at his replies in the "president" thread. The quad in his Avitar, and where he lives. Hes back.

I will take pictures of DW's quad next to mine and you will see the major differences, i alrady said he is the one that helped me build mine since he already did one.

Funny thing is mine came out better (guess 2nd time around you learn from your mistakes)

I suppose the guy down the street from you with the same quad as your is also you??? No one can talk about Katrina without being DierWolf? no one can have an oppinion without being him either? Only Dierwolf lives on this island?

If so then Bushmanrebel and Rasta are also DierWolf??
