Has anyone checked out Google's Street View of Pittsburgh. If you go to Schenley Park you can see people playing the course. I just thought it was pretty cool. I don't know how to link it here. Just search Overlook Dr. Pittsburgh PA 15213

I paroused the entire city looking at this and that. This technology is kind of scary. Fun looking at. Scary when you stop and think.

Are you referring to Google Earth? I recently downloaded Google Earth and was blown away by the program and the detailed satellite imagery. All of our Pittsburgh area courses are shown in great detail. The really cool thing about GE is that you can lower the view angle so you can discern topographical features of the landscape. Very cool stuff... :)

no Jerry, its parts of google maps. When you load a destination it shows the normal map but has an option for "streetview".. if you select that it will give you a little "person" to stick where you please on streets and it will literally show you a 360 degree view of the street you are standing on. check it out @ maps.google.com
and google earth is sweet. We thank it for wonderfull DLDGC tee signs. :D
