It's kind of amusing to look at New York and look at how those tall buildings were photographed from different angles. (Doesn't work in small towns as the buildings are too small Wink

.)

Also, there is a place called Orly just below Paris. Obviously there are a few people who put those pins down with the text: Ya Rly Razz

Has the images of certain areas been updatedm cause i have a screenshot of something i stumbled across yonks ago, and if i attempt to locate it now, i fail epically, it was an image of the Pakistani flag, on the outskirts of Keirechi, with random english lettters near it.

Manchester on google maps, up until about 8 months ago, was still a building site after the IRA bomb in 1996. The place was more or less finished about 6 years ago!

Actually, I don't know if anyone got the Guardian F1 guide on monday, but it had all the circuis and how to find them on goolge maps, a subject I posted about a while back ...

shows the circle which at a certain speed you can take your hands off the steering whell and it'll take you around Smile

tho if your not part of top gear or the ppl the work there, chances of driving = low.

Nardo I assume Jawz? Anyhoo, it's not really that interesting unless you like Gran Turismo but this file when opened shows the locations of the real circuits. The city circuits are most interesting...
