Niagra Falls is kind a cool.

43°04'38 N, 79°04'27 W

One of my off-road spots, back in the day when I had an S-10. 15 yrs ago. Man, I'm getting old. Not very interesting, but something to look at.

21°18'11 N, 157°53'04W

The other area would have been better to look at but the resolution is bad. I haven't played off-road on the Ram yet. No time and No play ground.
But I did get stuck in the backyard once. Does that count?

Anyone doing it with dial-up? Looks like they don't recommend dial up. 128K broadband or faster. Just my luck.

80 miles north of Kiev, Ukraine. I haven't found it yet, but am looking.

I think its at 51°23'21.59" N, 30°06'16.50" E Its a low res picture, but it looks like the right water ways for a power plant.

Have you tried about 80 N of Kiev in the Ukraine?

51 31 01.36 X 30 35 47.27

I'm not positive that this is it, exactly, but it does have a kinda glow about it.

You guys do realize that you don't have to download anything, right? You can just go to Google local and enter in all of the information there, and then go into "Satellite" view...
