Google Earth Game

I found the same waterway pattern at Rumphi and Rhumpi (with one across the top, and the two branching out southbound), but the coloring of the outlying vegetation doesn't match.   If you're using google maps, and I'm using google earth, are those the same photos taken & displayed on each?

This is what it looks like in Google Earth:



If that's what you found texasmom then it's yours, otherwise I'll post one. 

BTW, if you click the far right icon in Google Earth, it'll open up the image in google maps and you can compare

No wonder this was difficult.

Oops, I'll pay closer attention next time and use earth. 

[texasmom]

You can post another one =)

I don't know if that's the one I found or not. =)

[Jayhawk]

OK, will do.



By the way, this does look the same on google earth and google maps.

That looks like somewhere I'd want to live. Where is it?

It's west of London, just north of Fairmile.
Cool picture, that one.

This is pretty close to the place that Jayhawk's picture was from.

a lot of airfields in England 

I know! lol  I feel like I saw that while looking for another one a few weeks ago, but I know there's no way I'm gonna remember that.

When you're looking for airports, float over one location (say, have all of England in your screen). Type airport in the search block ~ it gives indicators at all the airports, so you can just go right to them & look quickly.

Also, leave the word airport in the search block if you're looking at more than one location.  Just float to the next place, mouse/click on enter on the search block & it indicates all the new airports you've just searched for.

We learned a lot on Curlew's airport one didn't we texasmom?
