    My house in London is just outside the detailed bit, so it is just a blur

    The images are also over a year old as it doesn't show the new sports hall and halls of residence at my uni.

    Heh, too lazy.

    You need to wait for the maps to download, is pretty quick on 2mbit. Some areas don't get that detailed, big cities seem to. So does Bagdad...

    Area 51 is just a white blur because it's all built on a salt plain.
