I use it, and I try to spif up peoples 3D models (but I honestly don't do a very good job). Anyway, anyone else use it?

I use it. How do you make it all 3d? I've only seen the satellite pics but sometimes I see people using it and there are hills and stuff.

It's a downloadable addon. Just go to the Google Earth site and look around. It's pretty cool, and I'm not very god with it either.

There are thousands more models but that just to scrape a little off :).
And to tell you how complex some of these models get, the Empire State makes my comp lag, but it is the first one to do so.

Go look in the Golan Heights near Israel and there is a waterfall there that just looks amazing.

EDIT: It's called the Banias Waterfall and it is in the NE of Israel and NW of the Golan Heights.

Ya I just like screwing with it sometimes, but I have never really used it to be serious, I prefer actual AAA maps. Its fast in my opinion, but if you dont have the maps it might be good.
