I think it is almost complete, if you look at places such as New your, the detail is amazing, but where I livee it won't really show much of the streets |

Yeah, this softwares been out for ages, it used to be under the name and company 'Keyhole' I used it back in 2002 etc, and i found it amazing, since then the quality has become superb in places and better in others, google are really taking this project on and trying to make it huge, I find it great for directions. Enter two postcodes or places etc and it gives you step-by-step directions, great!
Plus the 3-D buildings are a huge improvement.
Anyway, toodle pip guys.

If it's about 6 megs that it's ok for me.Did somebody downloaded exe file to his/her hard drive?
I will download it but I have to know the exact file size because the file doesn't have Resume download option...
