MikeBrough -> Google Earth time machine (4/8/2009 7:47:20 AM)
I should really take the time to search back through the Google Earth forums but life is short and you guys are knowledgeable. I've just reinstalled Google Earth after a PC rebuild and the image of my house is now from 4 or 5 years back - before the crash the image was from the last 2 years or so. I can tell because we chopped our hedge down about 5 years ago and set up a large trampoline 2 years ago. Any idea why they would put older imagery up to replace newer stuff?

Maybe there are some "very_secret_military_or_other_strategic_facilities" in neighbourhood build last years, and they are keeping them in secret.

The trampoline looked like a UFO and you know how "they" like to keep this kind of stuff under wraps [;)] Greetz, Eddy Sterckx

Sorry....but in light of a recent thread hijacked for personal propaganda reasons by certain individuals...what does this have to do with wargaming? This isn't actually aimed at you specifically MikeBrough [:D]

doomtrader -> RE: Google Earth time machine (4/8/2009 12:00:52 PM)
Judge, it is connected to wargaming. You can wage wars with unproper maps. If google will put old ones then what about our wargames?

Can you see the borders? [image]http://img152.imageshack.us/img152/5636/warleadersmap.png[/image]

I've seen this map before in a paper magazine and IIRC it is actual map of Europe (Yugoslavia is already divided).

Anyway - pretty immaterial to the point that this ain't a map of September 1st, 1939 as the title claims Greetz, Eddy Sterckx

No probs Mike. I wasn't actually saying you shouldn't. I have always used the General Discussion forum for exactly that...general discussion. It appears, though, that General Discussion is not what it's for. The point of my post was that it has recently transpired that the General Discussion forum isn't that at all. It is in fact a General Discussion forum for wargaming. It isn't even for history! Go figure. I was pointing it out now that we have been told

I'm a bit surprised - I wonder where we go for our general, non-wargaming related discussions, then? Don't really want to go to Doggie's place. Might have to make some real-life friends now. <Polishes up social skills>
