Only some areas have high resolution images taken... mainly the US.

try zooming in to Compton or South Central Los Angeles!!! :eek::eek::eek:

[MartinSullivan]

Yeah as LnL says most of the hi res stuff is in the US. There is a thread (http://www.mini2.com/forum/showthread.php?t=98478)on Mini2 where people were zooming in and finding minis in car parks and listing their locations
