The problem with Google Earth and Terraserver is the fact the Vietnamese Government will not permit images below a certain resolution and height. The image of Can Tho is blurred in both services as is Sadec and the entire country. Now if they would or could dip into the CIA's image database, we will be able to see people on the streets and even your lost dog tags you left with MaMaSan (smile). It's too bad we can't see those places better than shown. You can't even make out the Bank Building which was an imposing building in the landscape. All you can make out are the shadows of what was and is still an airfield. A good resolution would give you building tops and even aircraft on the tarmac, ferries, and vehicles on the roads. I don't know what they need to hide anymore.
