That's a good one. Do you know what all that movie stuff is behind the motel? I used to know, but can't remember.

No but I am going to see if I can find a map of the Universal Studio on line which will help us out with that! :thumbsup: (I was curious about that as well!)

I found this program too awhile ago and first thing we tried to find my GF's old house in the states. (She moved then back to Finland). And ofc we knew only the town ;D (she lived age 7 to 10 in US), well she used to live near the school, ok we checked whats the schools address and ofc there was a distance from central too :D Was damn exiting to try to locate it, checking different maps with street names and try to compare them with google maps and BOOOM! there it was. (Last hint was the pool she remebered)

And i like to watch movies (alot) but i dont live in states and its good to see some of the cities and how the buildings and rivers etc.. are located so its more fun to watch a movie when you know where they heading and whats behind. You get my point?

BTW great links too :D
 
That is seriously cool, just installed it, I sort of feel like the CIA. How recent are these images??
