[AT] Want to see all your ATIS friends' abodes from thesky--incolor!?

Ralph can you give us some kind of address to check and see what is shown 
for your place.

Google Earth used to have another database called the Legacy database for a 
choice when you logged in.  The Legacy database showed my house and garage 
in good detail, on the database they are using now The Primary database it 
is just a blur.

I had purchased the program last year when the Primary database was 
available because of the detail for my existing house and for the new 
property we bought.  Then they did away with the Legacy database.

Look up 5601 Osprey Ln.  Freeland, WA   That is where my house is.  Just a 
blur.  If you go Southeast about 8 miles from my place that is the type of 
detail you used to see for my place.

Yes, it works on dialup, Ralph.  It's sluggish, but it works.  Video
memory on your system is a bigger problem than dial up.

Is this google program workable on dial up internet? I have a feeling
that it would be a long slow process getting a map of my area in Sask.
at 40 kbps but it would be great to see the overhead view. I've got some

old aerial survey photos from the 1950s that show pretty good detail but

probably not up to satellite standards of today.

Ralph in Sask.
