what about bing maps bird's eye view? i used that to estimate the building heights a few years ago..can't find the thread though..don't think the archives go back that far anymore.....i'm considering doing it again now that the live local pics have the Grand Hyatt which could be used as the constant in the proportion equations (....i would hope that since it's the newest tall that the 424' height is accurate )
I did find this thread that Boquillas had started, but I couldn't find your's.
