New Google Earth pictures of Area 51

Google Earth has just been released - go to earth.google.com to download the application. It's the most outstanding mapping application I have seen yet - most major cities are detailed down to individual buildings. For fun, enter the following Lat/Long coordinates just as you see them here into the 'search' field, and presto - very nicely detailed view of Area 51.


115 49'00"W 37 14'00"N


You can also go into 'Options' and change the elevation exagerration to a factor of 3. Once you have Area 51/Groom Lake centered and zoomed, you can use the tilt/rotate functions for good views of the surrounding mountains.
