Any interest in reviving this? It was way before my time. I also thought about a new thread that posters would link to something cool that they found. Feed back please.
 
Sure I'm down, I loved doing this before.
 
Sounds kinda fun... there should be a rule that you cannot use any Google Earth forums to help you in your search though.
 
There are Google Earth forums? I can't imagine those are very exciting.

Just one of the hundreds of volcanoes in Timanfaya Park, in Lanzarote



Find a boat, but not in a marina/dock

is a lighthouse considered a residency, since the lighthouse man lives there?

Sometimes I use them to find something which I can't.
 
and there's also google earth hacks
 
Island with one residency...



Find me a US aircraft carrier group not in US waters.
 
I wanted to look for them in the Gulf of Oman, but there's a big area where you can't zoom in far enough.
 
Ya, that may be too difficult. How about a US carrier group anywhere?

Is this what you mean with a carrier group?
 
I'm not sure if 'carrier group' is the proper term... its a carrier with its full escort of destroyers etc in formation... I'm pretty sure I've seen one on GE before, maybe I should look too!

EDIT: Alright, I did some cheating :scared: and I don't think a carrier battle group exists on GE.



So... find a sports arena with a game in progress and a large crowd.
 
Yankee game in progress

Along those same lines...Find me any race in progress.
 
Hard one. I only find empty racetracks or cars practicing.
 
There are cars on the 'Ring... does that count?






If that flies... show me your worst enemy's house (or secret lair).
 
There are a few cars on Sebring

 
Now that would be easy.
At least on this view of Zandvoort they could be racing:
 
Check Oulton park on MSN maps. It has a major race event on, probably touring cars. If you check the amount of cars heading to the track(on the 'coach road') and just within the grounds its a big giveaway. I live within a mile or two of the track and it is only the BTCC Touring cars and superbikes which cause that kind of backlog, and it is cars on the track not bikes.
 
so is it daan's turn?

I've got a good one anyway. Find a European airport that has 3 C5 Galaxys sitting on its runways.
