Game of Google Earth tag

It's 31 degrees C in my office. "Aircon is not healthy."

Too hot to work, so let's play Google Earth tag instead. First person to correctly identify this location gets to choose the next. Please stick within the high-res image of Munich and outskirts.

Clue: Aladdin Sane, track three.

Drive in cinema (and used-car lot) at Ascheim.

Very quick on the draw, and correct. Your turn.

Have to pass it back. Ain't got and can't have downloaded s/w here.

This one on Keydeck's behalf.

Just also discovered that you can get the same map in your browser via Google Maps - choose the Satellite view, drag the map around until Munich is central and zoom in.

Meanwhile Keydeck's spot, or at least the most interesting part...

And the clue is: Kinda like the baddy money grabbing gits in ST:DS9

Feringa See?

yes, Malcolm, i think you are right, that is def Feringasee.

Das de puppy. Zoom in on that knob and you can see noodie-roodies.

You're up Malc.

and i thought there was a phallic reference...

MS's not playing, and I'm waiting for something to run before I can go home. Try this:

Looks a bit like the Seehaus.

EDIT: Just checked, yup, Seehaus in the Englischer Garten.

yeup.

Here you go. I wanna know which company is in that large building.

How do you get Munich on Google Maps? I can't get it out of the US?

Is it the Hypovereinsbank?

I reckon it might be the Merc building that looks like a matchbox display. Somewhere on the road out to Garmisch-Partnerkirchen?

The maps bit of google maps doesn't cover europe, but the sattellite coverage does.

i reckon ben's right
that semi-circular-ish building is ernst & young, for sure
my flat is just off picture in the top right-hand corner...

Benpanter, yup. The Mercedes building just over Donnersbergerbrücke.

Mercedes building at the corner of Arnulf and Landshuterallee... but I was not the first..

I wanna play

Well, I guessed the last one and I'll take approximately two minutes out of my busy working day to start the next one for you:



Don't cheat and read the location at the bottom... although to be honest it's not a particularlly hard one!

Entrance to the BMW museum, just next to the olimpia turm..?

...and my work here is done. Congratulations grinner, you pick the next one.

aw, come on. make it a challenge.

I do not have Google earth on this machine... So I will Nominate Chicago!!

G

Duh, I can see it's obvious now but it stumped me

The shadow of the Oly-Tower kinda gave it away too

Yeah... the shadow was meant to give you a bit of a clue...

...and if you don't have the google earth software you can try this:

http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&q=mu...ermany&t=k&om=1

no-one seems to be going again so...

Englischer Garten/Flaucher?

the zoo ??

The Zoo is the answer I was looking for. wd

It's the zoo?

The airport?

Freising?

Nope and nope.

I'm stumped.

Dachau Memorial Site at the top

The clue is the Anlage in the centre-top of the photo.

Edit: Camman has it. Dachau was the answer.

Oh, I thought we were doing Munich

Pretty limited definition of 'Munich' you have there, especially as your initial guess was the airport, which is at least as far away from the centre of Munich as Dachau is.

I've got the spot, but how do I copy the image - google maps, or google earth?
aaaaaaaggggggggghhhhhhhhhhh

On Google Earth, select 'Save image' from the File menu.

Yeah, I'm just a narrow-minded kinda gal.
Since it's called Flughafen München, I tend to think it is in Munich

OK, Let's see if this works...

Chin. Turm?
EDIT: Oh I can see that pagoda thing in the Eng. Garten but I don't know what it's officially called
2nd EDIT: or is it the atom uni thing out at Garching?
I can't play this game at all!

cold

That windmill generator thing on the hill out by the stadium.
