Wanna find out the exact location of where I live with the click of a mouse?

[Halifax Housewife]

Then use Google Maps, with their new satellite maps! (http://maps.google.com/maps?q=31+Dresden+Court,Lower+Sackville,+Nova+Scotia&ll=44.763547,-63.689804&spn=0.008411,0.010664&t=k&hl=en)

Very nifty program, even though it can be used for the wrong reasons.

[MecaKane]

Wow, the suburbs of california are gross. And it won't go close on my address or anyone elses I know! >:O

[Destai]

This will make my job so much easier :greenie:

[Yamaneko]

I had to open it in IE because it wouldn't load up the satellite image in Firefox. :(

It's pretty neat, though. You can zoom in really close. I could see the pool in my backyard.

[Halifax Housewife]

Kane, just put the exact address in the Map search bar. Or maybe it's because you're in the neglected province of Newfoundland?

Yam - I'm using firefox and it worked just fine for me. :p

[Leeza]

It loaded just fine for me in Firefox.

This is interesting. Looking at my location and then looking at a few others of those of you who live in big cities, I'm glad to be just where I am. Everything is green.

[Halifax Housewife]

Yeah, but Vancouver sucks either way. ;)

[Leeza]

Vancouver <i><b>Island</b></i>. Far different from Vancouver. :)

[Faris]

Hey ma! I can see my house from here!
....Since when did all those people have pools?

[Yamaneko]

I had to enable javascript features. :)

I attached two images. The first one is a general image of where I live. The second shows my house.

[Halifax Housewife]

Heh. Look at how much open space there is where I live. Nova Scotia has a very small population, as it is under one million people in the entire province (state to you Americans).

[MecaKane]

Kane, just put the exact address in the Map search bar. Or maybe it's because you're in the neglected province of Newfoundland?
No, it'll show up if I zoom back enough to see like half of the city but not close enough to see any individual houses or anything like that.

[Halifax Housewife]

Ah, yes. That happens with some of the southern countries as well. Google hasn't reached 100% completition with zooming in on Newfoundland entirely. I told you it's a neglected province. ;)

[T-MaN]

If this program ever fell into the wrong hands...ughhh :eek:

[The Summoner of Leviathan]

Same for NB it is crappy for the northern end....*still looks* I am near the Restigouche...

[Shlup]

Works just fine in Firefox for me.

Jeez... Everything for miles around me looks like a wasteland. Ewww.

[Cuchulainn]

Damn....It doesn't work in Belfast :(

Still...internet stalkers of North America will be pleased at least.

[RSL]

Doesn't have any maps of my area...

[Necronopticous]

This is the most amazing thing I've ever seen in... Well it's the most amazing thing I've ever seen.

[Cless]

Holy crap, Cuchulainn you're from Northern Ireland. So am I! :D
Sorry, that was off topic, but I don't think I've ever seen seen a Northern Irelander in here.

It's a pity that this map only covers North America. :(

[Kirobaito]

The first attachment is my house. You can't see the pool for some reason. I guess it's just that dirty.

The second attachment is my school, Southwest High.

The third one is a picture of both my school and house, to show how close they are to each other.

[Meat Puppet]

Makes me regret putting my address on the internet. :/

[Rye]

My dad was just using something like this a few days ago. It's pretty cool.

[Kirobaito]

These envelopes I saved from all the Christmas Cards I got are finally getting a use. :)

[Cuchulainn]

Holy crap, Cuchulainn you're from Northern Ireland. So am I! :D
Sorry, that was off topic, but I don't think I've ever seen seen a Northern Irelander in here.

Yup, brought up in west belfast now live in north belfast. I won't corner you by asking where you live, it's a touchy subject here sometimes, I'll leave that up to your better judgement. NICE TO MEET YOU ANYWAY FELLOW NORN IRONER!

Sorry about the hijack....please resume the thread topic. Oh, and complain to google to get their satellite asses over the pond, thnx.

[Skogs]

I can see my house.

Well, not really.

I can see the house I lived in ten years ago...

[-N-]

This is really cool.

[Meat Puppet]

I'd have more fun if it was live action, like the one Tommy Lee Jones used on M.I.B. :(

[DMKA]

I can hear it now...."OMG TEH APOCALYPSE SING OF EINDIN TIEMS~~!~!!!1!!1!111!"

The first attachment is where I currently live. The second attachment is where I lived before I came here, all of my life, until I was 15.5, which is when I came here. =/

But hopefully I'll be moving back next semester. YAY!

[Strider]

Here's my house. The San Joaquin River is about a quarter-mile to the north, and Highway 99 is about a mile to the west.

[theundeadhero]

Where in Wisconsin does Monkey live?

[o_O]

They have Auckland, New Zealand, but not Torbay, Auckland, New Zealand. :{

I can see my uni though. :p

[Ko Ko]

When I searched Shanghai, all it came up with was some part of New York.

[Halifax Housewife]

Like I said before, the Satellite feature hasn't been entirely done as of yet. It'll be a couple more months before we see <i>everything</i>.

[ughhis]

My house is nice. Sverige; Örebro. :fpcow:

Örebro is, by my very approximate estimation, the spot under "my house". It's a nice place to live. :)

[Loony BoB]

I take it it only works for North America, like most satellite things these days. *grumbles*

EDIT: Never mind - looks like it's just the places I was looking for at the time. Still can't find satellite pictures of any of the places I want to look at, though. :(

[boris no no]

it dosn't show the extreme awesomeness of Derbyshire. for shame.

[m4tt]

I forgot to look at this when I got home last night, I can't get it to work using IE here at work. o_o Well it works, but there's a bunch of broken url tags all over the place.

[Caspian]

Check out this satellite view from the same Google image thing. You won't be sorry.

http://maps.google.com/maps?q=2064-fm,smithville,+tx+78957&ll=30.081854,-97.139397&spn=0.060768,0.085316&t=k&hl=en

Some guy cleared out a huge acreage of woods in the shape of his last name, so that it can be seen from space.

[kikimm]

Groovy. Although it makes me sort of nervous, but I'm just dumb like that. It's cool that they actually have my house on it.


:D

[Halifax Housewife]

Nah, I see nothing nervous with it. I think it is a safety hazard, but hey, everything is a safety hazard nowadays. Gotta learn to live with it.

[PearlRose]

Wow, that's kind of cool.

My hometown doesn't have the satellite images yet, but my university does. ^^

[CloudDragon]

No close up pictures, but this is a nice shot. Green and the river!

[Leeza]

Won't show any exact addresses out here, but I live somewhere in the middle of all this.

[Carnage]

they cant be using a satellite just really old maps

[Rase]

Haha, now I can attack your house with exploding sheep come visit you at inconvient times!

Anyway, he's me. Yeah, Coast Guard bases are so exciting. I even used my mad Paint skills to show you my exact house. :p

[Logan]

Mine looks so ugly. All these houses. :( I zoomed! Now it looks nice. All of the farms around my house look nice too.

[Sephex]

Holy crap, that's scary. Here is my work. That picture is dated though, because the golf course is being rebuilt now (I work at the building across the street, not the golf course).

EDIT: It keeps on reseting to the location of the thread starter, so never mind.

[Nod]

well, that Google map doesnt work for the UK. So, here is where My House (http://www.multimap.com/map/photo.cgi?client=public&X=390747&Y=213224&width=500&height=310&gride=&gridn=&srec=0&coordsys=gb&db=GB&pc=&zm=0&out.x=12&out.y=8&scale=25000) is using Multimap
