Good find. I love Google Earth on PC, and enjoyed the leaked beta on OS X. Hope the final works well. Thanks for the link.

Frankfurt am Main is very blurry in the west and south. It's as if it's under some kind of nebula or so. Kind of disappointing.

There are lots of blurry spots, for various reasons. In Rochester, for instance, the far suburbs are blurry because they don't have the close-up data in the database yet. But inside the city and its immediate suburbs, there are two areas that are intentionally low-resolution: the airport and the main Kodak manufacturing park....

That to obscure the prostitutes and discourage plans for robbing the EU Central Bank or German banks.

Oh okay, I admit it, it's just because Frankfurt is so damn ugly to look at....
I'm from the government and I'm here to help

It is interesting that some areas are not sharper. I would like to see more detail in other areas, oh well.
