Kind of like Google Maps, but it requires a download and it does much more. Take a look. Amazing. There's Maplewood: There's the foot bridge in Memorial Park: Hey, look, there's parking in front of Kings!   Tom Reingold Supporter Username: Noglider Post Number: 8017 Registered: 1-2003 Posted on Thursday, June 30, 2005 - 11:05 am:        Wow! Google keeps raising the bar.   composerjohn Citizen Username: Composerjohn Post Number: 354 Registered: 8-2004 Posted on Thursday, June 30, 2005 - 11:27 am:        Tried downloading and got the following response: Google Earth downloads temporarily delayed Thanks for your interest in Google Earth, but we're sorry we can't offer you a download right now. As you know, Google Earth is in beta, and we're still building out our ability to take on new users. We're making good progress, and expect to be able to accept new downloads shortly, so we recommend you check back daily at earth.google.com. We hope to be able to welcome you and other new planet surfers soon. We appreciate your patience, The Google Earth Team   TomD Citizen Username: Tomd Post Number: 47 Registered: 5-2005 Posted on Thursday, June 30, 2005 - 11:37 am:        I just took another look and it worked.

I have a Mac G5. From the website: "At this time, Google Earth supports Windows only; however, we hope to support the Mac OS soon. In the meantime, although it might be slower, some Mac users have had success running Google Earth with a PC emulator." Argh!
