I said only REALLY works for the US, which you so kindly quoted, not DOESN'T WORK FOR UK AT ALL EVAR, but thanks for showing you can't read, or type. Really, I'm sure out of your 12,000 posts, about 4000 are just quoting other people. Is that really necessary?

Just so I have context, I tried 25 routes, all came up with nothing, even when they were on neighbouring roads. All at parts of the UK. Perhaps Ireland gets special privilages for making Guinness. I don't know.

You did say that "ROUTE FINDER DOES NOTHING AT ALL" in the UK which doesn't seem to be the case. Drink a pint of whatever it is you usually drink to relax and calm down. Drink 2, actually, while you're at it.

Water off a duck's back, I swear *shakes head*.

Anyway, Dundee looks horrible. They use awesome camera for, say, Temperance MI, which has about 8 people in it, and Dundee gets blurrovision. GOOGLE ARE MEAN.

This is a helluva lot better than that NASA World Wind thing. So awesome.

most of upstate NY is all super low resolution. Not that there's much to look at but trees anyway.

Also, was gonna say before i saw the URL, this reminds me a lot of nVidia Keyhole, which google purchased a while back, they use it for the photo mapping in their map systems.
