Interesting new modeling tool - Vpike

[Philip H]

My lovely red headed wife stumbled across a great virtual tool that may be of use for modeling purposes:

The location in question is from the part of North Baton Rouge that I'm modeling, but you can enter nearly any location and get the same results.  We found the images of our office building, and while I'm not in them, several of my friends are.  Only downside is I can't find a way to print the images they present.

Can't you do a screen capture?

Once it's in your photo editor you can brighten it up, and even trim out the unnecessary graphics.

My I.E. doesn't appear to be set up for it . . . . :

Look at the upper right on your keyboard.  There's a button that says PRNT SCRN.  Simultaneously punch Ctrl-Alt and PRNT SCRN.  Then open your paint program, and right click and paste. 

There, you learned something new today.

Indeed I did!  An dthe results will be most likely coming to a weekend update near you.  Thanks!

Alt+PrntScrn does the same thing with fewer fingers... Or, if you're OK cropping a screen grab, just punch PrntScrn.

It is Google Maps... Just embedded in another website...
