This is the bird eye view of my place, see that big parking lot there, across the street, three houses from the corner of the street there, that's my place with the gold station wagon in the front...
Google doesn't have this kinda zoom level for my place. 25 yards...
As far as slow and choppy... o.0 upgrade ur pc or sumthing man, it runs great for me! and my pc is OLD...
Google also doesn't take u to the last location, or have that push pin feature and have it all save for the next time u use it... My opinion, local live just kicked google's ass HARDCORE!
[EDIT] ANNNNND, neither google nor yahoo, nor amazon use the latest updated map and whatnot, so take that argument and shove it!
[EDITx2] And Hiro... this isn't a DOWNLOADED MAP. U show me and online map that does 3D views then u can complain about no 3D view's okies buddy?
[EDITx2 1/2] U can control the angle...

Wow, it looks...
exactly like Microsoft MapPoint. EDIT: Mislead by first link, didn't see the bird's-eye view option. The resolution is scarily sharp, but it lacks any of the "awesome" features of Google Earth, such as the 3D view, differing zoom resolutions, and the visual flair of watching a slow zoom into a certain address from orbit. |

I misled you by saying "find somewhere with a birdseye view"? Man, I suck  I like it, its not the bomb sure, but its BETA, can't wait till its not  , it doesnt lag half as much as google earth does for me!_____________________
