chesss · 10-06-2006, 01:12 AM

Sorry for the long title, but just check out google earth. They have updated the data, and its absolutely HUGE!!
Check it out, in all probability, your city wll have hi-res data.

Official Techie · 10-06-2006, 05:46 AM

very gud nut not that much as in america or elsewhere

nishant_nms · 10-06-2006, 07:24 AM

is patna included

chesss · 10-06-2006, 09:09 AM

patna is there.
Indyan, sorry mate, left by a few kms

.

Actually the thing is that due to the sheer number of cities , it is not possible to make sure individual cities are included, as a result a few are left out.

Choto Cheeta · 11-06-2006, 10:25 AM

@Indyan

hahaha still waiting... lol... may be u should change the city... they r not comming yaar... may b u write a letter to them...

anyway for me.. yup kolkata is in for a long time... but good for nothing... atleast images r 2 years old...

now days so much developments... so hard to know the place from up while viewing a 2 year old pic... only those (like us) who live in the city (even they find it deficult) can find some place, but if u r new and watching kolkata from top... man nothing is there what u see...

How can they say they have the whole map of India without including all states &
Union Territories!! Google must do the job fully not partly.
They can release one called 'India Imagery' with the whole India covered. I will
definitely buy it.

nishant_nms · 11-06-2006, 09:41 PM

It is realy great for me because now it includes my city.
I had earlier uninstalled it due to the lack of the above

mohit sharma · 11-06-2006, 10:00 PM

will checkout about my city ( ghaziabad ) and tell , although till 3 days ago it was shown as jungle !!!!!!!!!!!

rahul_rks · 11-06-2006, 10:36 PM

thanks for the info.hope my city (nashik) is included now.

Oh cmon, the resolution for areas not in hi-res is atleast 15m/pixel. Which means every large building on the whole planet can be seen for free!!

Sparsh007 · 13-06-2006, 12:13 PM

is sikkim there???

mohit sharma · 13-06-2006, 09:53 PM

this is ironical , delhi is there , noida is there , meerut is there , bareilly is there , but my city ghaziabad is stilll a jungle , i love google , but this really is annoying thing !!!!!!!!!!

Sukarn · 13-06-2006, 10:22 PM

I dont have the software installed right now.
Anyone care to tell me whether Jabalpur can be viewed as "not a jungle"?

chesss · 14-06-2006, 01:39 PM

Yup jabalpur is there.
Sikkim - its got hi-ers , but Gangtok ain't in hires. Most of the weatern sikkim got hi-res though.

btw according to geblog, one-third of the worlds population is convered by hi-res

executioner · 14-06-2006, 02:03 PM

Is kolkata there?Can it be seen by the free version?

Chirag · 14-06-2006, 05:11 PM

Is Vadodara there? DVD writer damaged. Can't install it. Have digit give Google earth on cd?

anirudhasarawgi · 14-06-2006, 05:56 PM

My City Guwahati is there.....yeppy

chesss · 14-06-2006, 11:29 PM

Vadodara is there as well.

btw liks i said most cities will be there. And eve if your city isn't in hi-res, there is still a lot to see. So download the app anyway.

ShekharPalash · 15-06-2006, 12:39 AM

Prashray · 15-06-2006, 09:32 PM

agnels · 16-06-2006, 06:21 AM

Is Goa also included?

hellraiser · 16-06-2006, 09:58 AM

Let's take a try

the deconstructionist · 16-06-2006, 11:18 AM

My only question is what is the use of this feature .

PrinceHeart · 20-07-2006, 10:14 PM

Very good question.. All these images are not updated in real-time. Its said to be taken anytime within the past 3 years. So the question is correct - what is the use of this feature ?

Well everyone like to see their own house from top on what and how it looks like and looking at other popular places. That's just it ?

That's remind me of the movie "Men in Black" where tommy lee jones zoom in from space on earth to see what's his wife is doing. It was just a camera/pc trick, but technology like that - will it be ever be accessible by common humans on this planet ?

Anyone here hacked nasa.com or any telecommunication satellite yet ?
