I also have very poor resolution at close quarters...

When my brother and SIL were home at Christmas, he and my kids were playing with google earth. He showed them his apartment in Boston, the MIT building where he worked, his favorite coffee shop. Then he took them across the ocean to show them where they were going to live in Dublin, Ireland. The dog park they were going to run their dog in, etc.

But when he tried to show them our house, he couldn't even come close because the resolution was so bad. Even our town wasn't clear.

Apparently low population areas aren't a top priority for sat. pics. Wink
