Do you use Google Earth? (location, places, street, school)

Well? I use it along side this website... both extremely helpful in learning and where places are at on earth.

I use it but wonder how old the pics are. The shopping center down the street has been there for 2 years. It doesn't show up.

Yup. Our old school building was demolished over a year ago but it's still on there. Nevertheless, I agree that it's very interesting and handy to use to locate where folks live. It's quaint when people say they're from Desolate, KS or Monotony, IA or some other such improbable location but being from across the pond I haven't heard of a lot of them so good old Google can come in useful then.

You mean places like French Lick or Intercourse, PA?

Sure do. It's a neat place to play. Look up some friends places in foreign countries.

I have in the past and I think there needs some upgrading or refresh the images.

I love google earth

For what? I mean, it's a fun place to waste (spend) time, but of what practical use is it?
