Goooogle's new offering
http://earth.google.com/ unfortunately I can’t run it on my machine (Win 98 laptop, on her last legs) but I’ve been told it’s “FANTASTIC!”

Excellent, Michael. But I can't work out where the bottom picture fits into the top ?

I never was any good at Jigsaw Puzzles

Also, have you asked the Camara to move the large pin from outside your villa, it must be very inconvenient !

That is the dogs, I've just zoomed onto my house in Ireland and saw my Dad in the back garden. Amazing.

Found MC's place on the big map

It is a great little toy, can't seem to get much focus on the other algarve regions though.

Very, very nice. Portugal and Spain are 'loud and clear' ! I will miss it after the 7-days trial.

Flipping heck Digger, what a find

Michael, can you swap the pin for a "For Rent" sign

How did you get to Carvoeiro? Every time I typ Carvoeiro it zooms into the north of Portugal...

Francien, fly to Portimao (from the south) and move a bit to starboard..........

thanks, that works! Now a second question: wgy can't I see Ferragudo, Parchal and Portimao?

DaGi · Post by **DaGi** » Thu Jun 30, 2005 11:53 am

Maybe a little bit more zooming in. And Portimao is very clear - with the large river
