Would anyone like to help me model Grand Rapids for Google Earth? Here's what i have so far.

Can't help you there, but g-earth is incredible, how in the hell do they get all those street views? Satellite views are one thing but I google-earthed my address at my home in FL an they had at least 12 different angles of my home and I can narrow down within a couple days that yeah my picket fence was missing a couple slats that day, yeah the wheelbarrow was sitting next to the birdbath that day, but I don't recall anyone driving around in a dark tinted Gov vehicle when the pics were taken. It's scary, big brother is on us.......Please pass the kool-aid, I'm thirsty , and rightfully so.

It's not a government vehicle, it's a google hired car with cameras mounted on the roof. I've seen one in Grand Rapids. Unless you count google as big brother, which might not be half wrong.

Oh, oddly enough it's supposedly google itself that claims to be the only one that when you type in certain "keywords" in thier search it's not to be disclosed. Your right it's a car hired by the gov't to collect info for google, pretty close to one and the same.
