      maybe you've had it in the US but it's new here. Sure, we've had major roads under the roads icon but it now has the detail and search function of Google Maps which we've never had before.

      sorry if I'm wrong on this. juju seemed to understand me.

      cheers

        thats a good point maybe not downunder...

        they've had it here local to me... and in the US... I can go down and see the roads and names and streets... and always have... although it's always off by like 250 feet... the actual point is usually across the street...

        have you seen the street level thing yet?

                        Hi John, et al -

                        Sorry for the confusion! I didn't even check your location... Yes, this feature has been in certain, but not all locations, with the introduction of Google Earth 4. I'm glad it's in your spot now...and what a spot it is!!! West side of Ramsgate Ave sure does look like a heck of a nice place to live! If you ever need any on-sight help with SketchUp, I'd be glad to stop over! πŸ˜‰

                        Cheers,

                         - CraigD
                        

                        Google SketchUp

                            Well, I checked and my place also has the GMaps now as a layer in GE (it didn't use to be there). Even typing in adresses work (which did not for Hungary previously). Although I'm not exactly convinced that the position of the roads are correct. It seems that east-west it's OK but north-south there's a small distortion.
                            I still need to check and I'll show you what I mean.

                            Gai...
