First off, I want to mention it isn't for egotistical reasons or anything like that. Anyway; me and a friend live in a city that currently does not have any 3D buildings in Google Earth, and enjoy picking up random computer based projects. So I came up with a project for us. Over the next few years whilst attending college, as a hobby we could build our city on Google Earth. Now, I don't want my name shoved down people's throats or anything, and I couldn't care less whether or not the everyday Google Earth user knows I built my hometown. However, I would like to tell my friends "Hey, I built our city on Google Earth." and actually be able to prove it to them. If I construct a building, can I ever prove I built it?

Yes you can. And no - it's not shoving anything down peoples throats. But it's there if anyone wants to look.

I suppose you already know how to get started - but in case anyone else visiting the thread is interested:
