Microsoft Earth

Google Earth is a great product with only one flaw - I can't see my house on it, or indeed much of Nottingham.

Now it seems that Microsoft is in on the act and with their system you can see my house, in an alarmingly high level of detail.

One has to wonder, if imagery of this quality is available free of charge to the general public then what exactly have the CIA got? And why couldn't they find those WMD's in Iraq? I can see a chair in my back garden on that image.

Looks like you've got a nice place!
Good site, really useful. Yur advice please: where should I take a couple of friends who are coming up at the weekend for a good(relatively cheap) meal? I've only lived here two weeks, so have no clue. I'm in Lace Market. Your view appreciated.
Cheers!

Not far from me: that's some goddamn low-flying aircraft!
