Of course, if you want some really cool images, check out <a href="http://local.live.com/" target="_blank">http://local.live.com/</a> and look at the east/west "birds eye" photos. You'll need to start at Epcot, click on "birds eye" and then click on W on the compass and then navigate using the photo pane.

Originally Posted By ssWEDguy You know, I saw a helicopter hanging out over the north end of the MK some months back, out beyond the utilidor entrance area. Just about where these MK birds-eye views show. I remember thinking "How unusual." Usually air traffic is highly restricted over and anywhere near the MK. (Any such traffic tends to be medical matters) But there it was, just hanging up there. I'm guessing that was the actual photo image helicopter for these photos. I'm going to see if I can see myself in there.

What do you mean Not Found? There's only one Epcot for crying out loud. Google earth it's simple point and click. But I want to see live.com's bird's eye views.
Originally Posted By ssWEDguy And I still can't get the image to display in more than 1/2 of my screen. Fully 50% of the screen is taken up by browser headers, and this HUGE live.com dead area that only displays the search field that doesn't find Epcot.
