sorry, meant Ghys. Mixed you up with another Canuck around here BTW: my home street to work: http://maps.google.ca/maps?f=d&hl=e...1174&sspn=0.099338,0.233459&ie=UTF8&z=12&om=1 56km blows (about the width of London, I'd guess)... and on the 401, of all highways. **edit: on days picking up my sister, and then using the light-speed 407: http://maps.google.ca/maps?f=d&hl=e...76,-79.407806&spn=0.099183,0.233459&z=12&om=1
haha 56km is pretty far I get to drive exactly 30km daily to go to college http://maps.google.ca/maps?f=d&hl=e...6278,-73.488922&spn=0.315962,0.6427&z=11&om=1 It's not bad, but this highway is pretty narrow and when you're not use to it you can get nervous a little
at night you have a great view of MTL Downtown as well as the Casino. And you can also see the Olympic statium at one point
Rofl nice that's kinda cool ...! Hah, that's quite amusing. Somebody must have stitched those images together... suprised they didn't bother fixing the phantom plane
Jamie, that Upper Heyford place looks a bit like a crop circle pattern... coolness Where I work - sadly the pipes / cooling / air con on the roof, the substation and the helium tanks look much more impressive in real life... Edit: this is slightly better...
Its even more impressive when your the only person in your area with the swimming pool. It looks small but my flat block is enclosed and pretty big. http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?f=q&h...pn=0.003109,0.007167&t=k&z=18&iwloc=addr&om=1
Well, I live and work here. That image is about 4 or 5 years old, because the house has been renovated, and the barns replaced with a garage. Still, it's better than Google Maps, which doesn't even have a high res image for the whole area.
Wasnt there areas on Google Earth where you could see somehting like a car flying or missile in flight etc? Anything like that on these ?
The Earth Centre, South Yorkshire's rival to the Dome and a few minutes away from me. After ploughing £50M of Lottery money into it along with more in 'matched funding', the visitors stayed away in droves and the income never even covered the staff wages. "Instead of the predicted 500,000 visitors a year, it received 80,000, and closed in 2004 at an estimated cost of £64m." Still up for offers and costing an on-going fortune in security. A good shot of the solar canopy "This 925sqm photovoltaic solar collector, rated at 107kW peak, is anticipated to generate in excess of 72,000 kWh per annum. This is currently the largest PV solar collector in the UK." On the good side, we got a road bridge over the railway line instead of a level crossing, traffic-lights at a couple of busy junctions "to cope with the expected traffic increase from visitors" and a few local pubs were cleaned up. The bridge still under construction shows the age of Google Maps - it opened in 2002.
