Google Earth

[Carsten Schermuly]

Type an address, town or village (any location) name in and hit Enter.
See the target on a satellite photo.

Google Earth Home
http://earth.google.com/

It needs to download, to install and to run the software (please note the requirements).

How to use, example
Invite someone to your church, add a Google Earth bird view screenshot (in addition to a routeplaner screenshot?) to your description, how to find the church -
to make life easier.
Maybe your church is already marked as a church building by the GPS - datas?

Just found the fuctio in menu "FILE" and "Save Image"
so it does not need to create screenshots.

Bad Gandersheim, Lower Saxony, Germany

I got Google Earth a few months ago when it was still free. (You have to pay for it now) It was a lot of fun looking at popular places like national parks and big cities but I was disappointed about ordinary places. Most of the Midwestern US and other ordinary areas did not have nearly as close a view. Then I saw an advertisement for Google Earth Plus. The ad said that it was a lot better. It was twenty dollars for one year. I got it. I can't tell that it is a bit different than the free version. So if you already have the free version, don't waste your money on the Plus version.

How I could know, I am late?
I see now, I should I use the Forum Search, before sending a message.
It is a new feeling, I have ti learn.
In Ceilidh elder messages did disappear - it made nearby sure, my thing is not a duplicate.

By the way, I got the same - large towns are much better detailed than counties with low population density.

See the village Harriehausen, political counted to Bad Gandersheim, in center our 'ol farm, distance about four miles. Harriehausen lies in the bow of the east - west rail line, a bit right north - south the Autobahn A7 with the service station and junction Seesen.

A misunderstanding on my end - caused by my Third Class English.

I have understood -
you or someone else had already talked about Google Earth - months ago on NazNet.

Later I closed the eMail - notification I got after my initial message, telling, frozen Joel had answered - and then I have seen my mistcake.

I hope, this will bring a bit light in the darkness, I have brought over you and save your health, not to break your neck, now you can stop to shake head.

You are not late. You are not at fault. :basic01 I was just adding to what you said for other who will read this.

One thing that I really like about Google Earth is the way you can tilt your angle of view. You can "fly" up the Grand Canyon and look straight a head and see the huge cliffs and rock formations just like you would see them if you were flying through the canyon in a small airplane. You can go around mountains the same way.

I was able to date some of the photos because of road construction that was going on at the time. They were 2 years old.

Google may take better pictures and improve the views over time.

Thank you, I found the functions already - seen on Googles quick guide.

Nobody must be afraid, I fill now up NazNet by pictures, everybody could get. Only this - after the Pentagon, the Tempelhof Airport Building is the worlds second large building. Note the blue info mark and "Wondering about this plane?" in lower left corner.
Outside is a separated place, pretty made, e. g. with information plates. Normally are found three planes on, one is missed since years. Two of them were taken off one after the other and brought inside for reconstruction (I have seen at least in May 2005).

The raisin bombers
While Stalins land connection blockade between Western Germany and Berlin (West) in late 1948 and in 1949, the Allied Air Forces have fed Berlin by air. From coles and building materials unto bread and soap - all needings have been transported by planes with a max load capacity about ten tons. Some Air Force officers lost their life, e. g. while trying to land under foggy weather or in winter on ice at Hamburg and at Berlin.
It was the mightiest air logistic event ever.

Never we will forget.
There is a monument "Berlin Airlift", showing the three ways to Berlin, from Frankfurt, from Düsseldorf and from Hamburg, the planes did come.
