that nasa thing sucks balls

my city is totally blurry, and i wouldnt call Pittsburgh a small city....

EDIT* I tried it with san francisco, and miama, and miami was worse then my city, and fancisco was about equal

Every image thing i have been able to see my house (even on the old mapquest one - like 5 years ago) and this POS, i cant even see my city.. total waste of the not even hour it took me to do this.

yeah world wind does suck balls -_-

does your mouse have a scroll wheel, vic? XD

i found san francisco, kinda... you can see the shape of the city.. nothing else.. just labels of some parts of it but you cant see shit cuz the image detail sucks balls.

...you dumb fucks, RTFM.

You can change the qualities and different layering effects, I get shit way better than the Google thing. I'll get some screenies, let me reinstall (had to uninstall to make room for DVD).

oh yeah, that is just OWNAGE, i can so see everything a lot better this time!! does world wind give ANY color?

i thought it was just old and shitty cuz the area isnt all that important, right? so where do i go? New York City.

look! now its fucking DARKER and DISTORTED. its not even a little distorted, its omg-i-could-do-better-using-my-fucking-feet-and-a-1980s-film-camera distorted.

i thought id save you from the 3d renderings of all the buildings and just show you the actual satellite pic for "accurate" comparisons... but then again i thought not:

I think it's that one for cities. Whichever has ortho in the title, or something about urbanization.

other than taking 100% CPU the whole 3 minutes i waited for it, it showed me nothing. but hey, i kinda like it better this way :] its better than making my eyes bleed.

even when i post this, its still blank. and still lagging me
