I've had this program for awhile, it's a VERY good program. They should install a computer screen in my car with that program so I never get lost again!

Go on Google Earth and mark all the places you have visited. Then replay it as a tour. It's pretty cool. Also, everyone check out africa. GE has fly overs and pictures really close. You can see hippos and other animals and villages really close. Marked by red planes, just zoom in.

Some areas of the world are pretty blurry, but some are detailed down to exact houses...It all depends on where you are looking. If you have a fast computer you won't have to worry about the loading time, but sometimes that's why an area is blurry; it just needs time to load.

It's all based on screenshots and stuff, some of which haven't been updated in awhile. I like browsing China and seeing how much crap is there. The basic layout of the towns look like insanity.

The download speed are simply godly fast. That little connection meter in the lower left is basically your "level" of capped download speeds. With "turbocharged" pro download speeds I've had 300 KB downloads from good hosts.

Shame on you guys! And I don't even have time to post this at the moment... IHL could get into trouble for you posting shit on how to pirate software on his site. Wadi, you oughtta remove those posts.

Its free speech IHL isn't going to get in trouble because we're talking about Limewire.

BTW, my cable runs at around 6 MbPS, but every one in a while it jumps to 6 MBPS!!!!!!
IDK why seems like Roadrunners caps just shut themselves off sometimes and I get a whole 6 Megabytes of download speed! Usually it hovers around 600 KBPS but I'm not going to complain!

Not so pal, you should look up the text of the DMCA. Any site that facilitates piracy, even if only by posting instructions, is liable.

yet the possibility of getting in trouble? slim to none

Especially by just posting instructions. Those are just words. Much worse words have been said on the internet that are never taken seriously. Like killing people for example. If conversations over the internet were taken seriously then everyone would be arrested.
