380317 2005-08-11 09:41:00 Has anyone got this working with clear & in focus views of streets & houses? If so, how did you do it? PJ Poppa John (284)
380318 2005-08-11 10:26:00 That bit only works in certain areas, eg the middle of Auckland, Brisbane, main cities, etc. FoxyMX (5)

It has to be the best website yet.!!!

Thanks

Hi Oxie,

Not sure whether you are on dialup or not but if you are then I wouldn't bother as it would take forever for the images to render.

If you are on ADSL then it is worth a look. The tribe here thoroughly enjoyed playing with it until the novelty wore off a few days later after which it was then uninstalled. It would have been more interesting if it had more areas that we could really zoom in on but as I said previously, only Auckland had a small section on NZ's map. Likewise with other places like Sydney and Brisbane - I was disappointed to not be able to hone in on friends and relatives backyards. :p
