Here is the link. Google Earth. Try it, it's free and gives great satellite resolution. Take a look at Mt. St. Helen's.

I heard some areas are low res to prevent terrorists from using the images.

Yeah, because nobody knows what the top of the White House looks like... ;)

This was "KeyHole" before Google bought it. I downloaded it then and had a lot of fun with it. I discovered that the image of the high school that my son attends was captured as a small corporate jet was flying over it on approach to the local airport -- it shows up in baseball diamond :)
It's a pretty cool program for sure. I'd like to see more coverage though.

Looks like they do some resampling in the aerial imagery in the National Map too. //nmviewogc.cr.usgs.gov

You can flyby and zoom with terrain mapping. Nice for a free program. Here is a screen print of Mt. St.Helen's

Need a little help running Google_Earth...
I downloaded and installed the program and checked the "Launch Program" box immediately from the install. Ran great, lots of fun. But when I come back later, there isn't an icon or shortcut from which to restart the program. Going to the googleEarth website I only see the Download option which I've already done. And I'm on a PC in the breakroom at work on which the SEARCH options etc. have been disabled... any suggestions on how to get this program running again without re-downloading? |

If your using winXP right click on your desktop and click new.
It will bring up a box that says browse. Browse for google earth on your hard drive. It loaded mine here: "C:\Program Files\Google\Google Earth Plus\GoogleEarth.exe" and should of loaded yours the same unless you specified differently. Then just follow instructions for making a new Icon.

| Thanks Scott. It would work if the powers that be didn't also have the right-click function inhibited :l) With all the folks I work with, it's understandable. I'll check with the web boss when I run into him and get him to create a shortcut for me so that I can 'browse' the earth like a spirit from the heavens... that google-earth is a trip! Thanks again, Ray |
