I have the same reolution as that.I am using Google Earth pro.Is there a difference in quality?

I'm just using the vanilla free version... Version number 3.0.0762 with a build date of Nov 17 2005 if that makes any difference?

Nah - thats wot I got - and I'v egot the hi-res pix coming through too.
I can only see a safetty car, a recovery van and 2 marshals on track though

i think it's about 2 years old, as it's got the new drive i had put in my old house 2 years ago!

It's actually amazing that google earth, altho a little scary knowing they can watch you!

I got the pro version and I can see the twix wrapper on the floor near the pits.
Can anyone else see it?

You've wasted your money, it's actually a snickers wrapper...

I like Google Earth, but it does seem a bit weird with it's updates. I can see my house in hi-res and I can even (just) make out some fairings that I was spraying a couple of years ago - and yet, next doors house shows no sign of the extension they had built about 5 years ago

Perhaps it's one of them american stealth extension's. I keep getting e-mails about them.
