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

    Then use Google Maps, with their new satellite maps!

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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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).

    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.

    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.
