Is it possible to zoom in on scrapyards and see what is lying about. I know its a bit out of date but some stuff lies about for years. Might give it a go tomorrow getting addresses out of yellow pages.  _________________ The Clan Chieftain |

I don't think Google Earth or Google maps images would be good enough for identifying vehicles. The 3D nature of Google Earth isn't really 3D when you zoom in close.

I think you can pay for higher resolution but no doubt it would be expensive. |

You are right Peter. I gave it a go....not very good but the close up of my house and runway is very clear.  _________________ The Clan Chieftain |

You can get better than that on bing maps, dependant on location... |
