Google earth is the best for Australia.

Plus i like the actuall program it self so i can just spin it and watch it load, i find it quicker then the browser google maps

Nah, FF is failing me. I'll need to try it on my PC tomorrow.

FF 2.0.0.12 works fine on my Mac Mini.

I was browsing around with Satellite view and thought it was worse than Google. Then I switched to Bird's Eye view - you can see the colour of my front door. :eek:

Parents place is the same on both (both have different images from about the same date).

I think it's Amazing & use it to spec new lanes to go off roading. We here about a lane then zoom in on it using Google maps. Detail is Superb & makes our life Loads easier. No more money wasted on petrol speccing new lanes, Just Google map it & head there Sunday :cool:

Just tried LiveMaps on some clients websites, and none of them load in Opera at all :-/

Also tried some none-clients as well just to be sure it wasn't our code... low and behold nothing happens.

God I love Microsoft :-/

There are Icons missing off your screen grab.
I can turn my pictures around and tilt.

Zoom out enough and the Bird's Eye option disappears
