Try and find area 51 on the google satellite images. <3

It IS possible.

you can't see area 51 through maps.google.com, it's blanked out. But you can see it through KeyHole! :)

There is a Google Maps service availabe for the UK, it's http://maps.google.co.uk

I've used it a few times and think it is pretty good.

This is the closest I can get to a satellite photo of my house :mipdodgy:

Edit: In fact, that's not even a satellite photo. If it was, a lot of that would be urban grey :mipdodgy::mipdodgy:

That's pretty sweet...i love how google allows you to do things easily on their sites without wiating for the whole site to load. It's kinda like keyhole, but this one doesnt go really realyl close...to where i live anyways.

It's not blurred out on google's satellite shiz, it's just very indistinct - but there are definitely buildings, an airstrip and funky looking bunkers and stuff.
