aguz Posted April 6, 2005 Share Posted April 6, 2005 It's still the beta. I am sure the rural areas will appear when the original is out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Posted April 6, 2005 Share Posted April 6, 2005 It's still the beta. I am sure the rural areas will appear when the original is out. No, probably not. The photos need to be taken, and this is an expensive undertaking. Google merely buys rights to the photos, taken by the USGS and other agencies. I don't know how the pictures are taken from other countries though. Google can't buy the rights to a picture that isn't there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aguz Posted April 17, 2005 Share Posted April 17, 2005 http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=37.230778,-115.806713&spn=0.081539,0.126686&t=k&hl=en ;) Found it muahahaha Google > US Goverment How did you find it? I am looking right now for the closest city EDIT-Look a little north of the area 51 there are 21 green circles p.s. you must click the link to see it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeldafreek Posted April 17, 2005 Share Posted April 17, 2005 The whole Area 51 satellite pictures have been seen before, Terraserver had them a while ago before they were removed. This crackpot's site has been passed in and out of forums, as you can tell by the 60,000 comments. FYI the green circles are farms that are all over the midwest, and I'm guessing that the craters near the base are bomb tests. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthernHero Posted April 18, 2005 Share Posted April 18, 2005 Kinda frustrating when most of the times you just get the same message. Why do they even have the whole world map there when it's only possible to zoon in just some megacities in u.s. and britain. /me disapointed :( . Reality is hundreds of times more beautiful and more interesting than delusions. Fairy tales just tend to be easier to follow than the wonderful intricacies of life.

pedm Posted April 19, 2005 Share Posted April 19, 2005 muahahaha Google > US Goverment Afraid not there... the US goverment has almost the same thing at the International Spy museum in Washington DC. Also, the goverment has this stuff open to the public, which means that they probably could first do it about a decade ago (at least.)

Hannibal Posted April 19, 2005 Share Posted April 19, 2005 I don't know how the pictures are taken from other countries though. Google can't buy the rights to a picture that isn't there. Hate to disappoint you, but you know, there might me a tiny chance other countries also make satellite/aerial images... America isn't *that* superior... Can't be all that hard for Google to get their hands on those, seeing as they already added Canada and part of Mexico, and you can see the rest of the world to some extent (detail level sucks big time, but well...)
