    It bloody unbelievable, Barnsley's a bit fuzzy but some of the major cities around the world are fantastic.

    Try the Grand Canyon, Hoover Dam and New York.

    they have yet to properly work on the united kingdom they are going to try and make it so that you can zoom in and see the cars on the road and people walking which i think is going to be more or less impossible but if it works will be brilliant

    Chicago pictures are a year or 2 old - Soldier Field is just a pile of rubble!

    Picked out quite a few landmarks though - found both baseball stadiums but ain't found the United Center yet.

    Now for New York and New Orleans
