Re: Persian Gulf -True name, false name?
      10/01/05 04:55 PM

Read my post up a couple again. Depending on your altitude, it will shift from one name to the other as the layers change. Remember that your images from 40,000 miles out to surface are a series of layers. If you can stop at a transition point (like I showed in my screencap) you can actually get both "The Gulf" & "The Persian Gulf". The screencap the OP posted with "Arab Gulf" is, I believe, a fake. I took a slow drop from 40,000 miles to the surface at his exact coordinates and that NEVER appeared. I tried this experiment several times, and had a couple other people repeat it as well - with the same reults I had.
