My brother in law showed me it.
Amazing but scary, this is only what they let us see. I know DEFRA use it to check up on the fields that are set aside, farmer near us was fined for cutting his grass a few days early.

Rome is particularly good on Google Earth. It must have been a sunny day when they did that one. I believe they are updating with higher res pictures all the time, but they seem to be a bit behind – the old Wembley Stadium is still on there!

[Mike Grant]

Brilliant, they even have my old house in South Africa.

If you look carefully enough zoom in on Cape Town and you can see Rodney Gold waving from his workshop! :lol1: :lol1: :lol1:
