Cool map site

Google Earth was mentioned in another post, another good map site is http://maps.live.com. If you click on the "Birdseye View" it shows more detailed pics than google earth, and you can rotate the image to see it from other angles. George

Man! That blows the doors off Google Earth! Is it possible to create ashortcut to put on the desktop? If so, would someone please instruct. Thanks! Andy

You can add a shortcut to your desktop by: Go to the web page, at top of the browser click on FILE, go to SEND, choose SHORTCUT TO DESKTOP. This is assumingyou have a PC, I don't know about a Mac. George

bummer! I can't find "birds eye view". Maybe because I use Mozilla Firefox as a browser???

Even better yet is on "Zillow.com"

Then be sure to click on bird's eye view on the left..............fantastic pictures.......every angle of my house! My truck, my car........even my dog!

Thanks George! I created a shortcut for both MSN andGoogle. Seems Canada isn't very important. You can only zoom close in on densely populated areas. MSN has a sharper pic for cities, whereas Google allowsyou to Zoom in closer to places out in the country or remote places on Earth. On either I couldn't zoom in too close on my old country house, but you cansee Karens undieshangin' on the line out back of her place better on MSNSearch! Andy
