Is that a technical term you're using there?

You can at least click on an item in the picture and it kind of centers it and if you're not zoomed in to the max, it zooms in one level.

I wish they could have taken the picture of our house after our backyard was done. Instead I just see dirt.

It looks like they have modified Google Maps so that you can't zoom in as close as you used to be able to.

I guess the terrorists will just have to use bombs with larger blast zones

I was taken on a satalitte map tour of Camp Pendelton from the back gate to the air station this weekned. Barracks, stores, clubs, offices, full roads, even an airstrip full of helicoppers. Rather disturbing.

Our map looks older, and doesn't get enough resolution to view individual homes, etc. We're not too far from a major SAC base, so I wonder if it's not as clear as others for a reason...... We're also a little podunk town, so it could be that as well.

What is This ?

UFO Perhaps

It's a cloud. I forget what they're called, but airplane piolts hate those kinds of clouds because they form at points where updrafts and downdrafts meet.

I think it's just a Nuc going off - nothing to be alarmed about
