I suppose Google will build up an archive of the images it takes and use those, so in another 10 years time it will be interesting to look back on what the U.K. looked like when Google started photographing it. Oh, or is that how you've got the image of Wembley? For me I don't see the big deal with Google Earth, I can look at your maps and aerial imagery without installing a program in addition to my web browser, I don't need the fancy 3D effects. But the additional features are becomming more tempting. Oh, don't suppose you could release some high-res photos of Durham into the public domain could you? I'm getting bored of working out building footprints from my ground based view. Wow, now that is an interestring feature.
