Doesn't work well on my OS/Browser.

Furthermore, whereas Google Earth zoomed fully in on my house shows a medium resolution color satellite image, MSL shows a low resolution black and white aerial photo from the mid 80s.

They both suck, however this sucks more.

Doesn't work on Safari and is buggy on Firefox. And isn't live, some pcitures are a couple of years old (I went to a place that has recently been built.)

BTW, I don't how late I am to this but Google earth finally has a MAC version...Google earth is bitchin'.

Wow that's cool, I found my house and my old schools.

Can't believe how clear and close you can get.

What's the big deal, it's the exact same picture of my city that Google has,
except you can't zoom in as much. Works fine though on Firefox here.
