Satellite View of Home
 

Using Google's new Satellite map service, attach a picture of your home/surroundings.

Article about the newly released feature: http://www.cnn.com/2005/TECH/interne....ap/index.html

Google Maps: http://maps.google.com/maps

In the search bar, you just enter as follows:

Street, City, State

Then you click the satellite link. And zoom in as far as possible. :)

Note: My picture shows light colored hills and ground, but right now the grounds and hills are green so this picture must've been taken in the summer or fall.

I think this is only available to U.S. and Canadian residents, sorry Canyarion and Bube.

The little red tab pinpoints the house

Man, my neighborhood looks ugly from an aerial view. Labeled some spots.


Where my crappy job is located. City Hall is one of those buildings...couldn't tell you which.


One of the buildings of my college. I like this area.


And decided to include my old college just because it's in the shape of a GIANT BRAIN!!!

Hooray! I don't know how to scale that, but it's a really long way to both campuses. But not as long as to UBC. Oh, let's scale anyways.

I've been playing with this sense I read about it in Dyne's livejournal.

Fun stuff.

But it's extremely hard to find my house, because the area I live in is so rural.

Re: Satellite View of Home

Re: Satellite View of Home
 

I think these pictures are a few years old... There are a few buildings near Wal*Mart that aren't there in the picture...

There's not even an available close-up satellite view of my house. Well half of my town has one but my half doesn't. Oh well.
