Holy shit! Google Maps has a new satellite image of my house!

[Bertha Venation]

WOW! This is so cool . . .

Is there a good satellite image of your abode somewhere on the intertubes?

1. Since you live in Southern Maryland, I went ahead and checked on my old house...

....and lo and behold, my old house was updated too. The resolution looks a lot more clearer and crisp on the new image. You can actually make out the shape of the house, the driveway, and even some of the features in the yard.

My old street still doesn't have Streetview, though.

3. Isn't that amazing?

I can tell that it was done about four years ago, because the landscaping had just been done in that photo, and the stadium a couple of miles away hadn't been begun yet.

I can also see the barns where poor little Miranda Rat Face must've had her horrible encounter with the barbed wire. :(

7. Yeah I know what you mean....

...my heart sunk a little bit looking at my old backyard and knowing my pets were buried there....

[Blue-Jay]

2. There's a pretty good image of our house.

No street-view yet, however.

There are really good street-views of the area where I grew up (where Mom still lives). Whenever I feel homesick, I take a virtual stroll around the old neighborhood. Weird, huh?

5. I think it's cool as hell.

:) Really cool.

4. I just checked, mine is at least 5 years old

We have changed our landscaping significantly and removed several tree five years ago, plus there's a car in the drive that we haven't owned for two years.

6. Our lot is so heavily wooded you can't even tell there's a structure there.

I love that. Do your worst, FEMA black helicopters! :bwahahahahaha:

[flvegan]

9. Mine too.

I rather like it as well.

[Arugula Latte]

11. Ours too. You can see part of the roof, a car in the driveway, and that is it.

[KamaAina]

8. Does it show any cats?

:shrug:

[Bertha Venation]

16. LOL

I can't see any, but I can make out a couple of deck chairs.

[Call Me Wesley]

10. They updated our refuge a few months ago.

Before, you just saw blurry green, but now you can make out the houses. There's even my koi pond visible. ;)

[Richardo]

14. I like the white one with the black and orange markings the best!

He's a big one! :hi:

[Arugula Latte]

12. You picked a bad time for nekkid sunbathing, Bertha.

But who can know when those satellite cameras are gonna snap their shutters, eh?

[Bertha Venation]

17. BAH!

If I sunbathed nude, the cats would go into hiding.

[Blue Diadem]

13. Mine is still the same, I wonder if it will be updated. I like MSN's birds eye view.

We're a rural town so they go up pretty close. I noticed that our former house in the city wasn't so close. It's cool though, you can turn the picture and see your place from all 4 sides and move the image around. I can see a spot on our roof that needs repair.

15. I like that I can see the house my father built in Google street view

next door to the one my grandfather built. I probably won't get back to my home town until there is a funeral.

[SacredCow]

18. The image of my parents' house is fairly old...

It shows a tree that fell in probably 2002 or 2003.

[Brickbat]

19. We live way off the road, so all you can see is our driveway. The other thing is, if you google map

our address, it has it completely wrong and shows you a house about seven miles away from us. Google maps isn't very good with a lot of the rural stuff.

Having said that, I have a great view of a house I grew up in in a town of 6,500. It's very cool and I like looking at it.

[bikebloke]

20. Updated street view on mine.

Before they had a view from the back of the building, after a snow storm. I could see my window. Now, everything is green. I can't see my window, though. It's fairly recent, because they're showing road work that kept me sleep deprived for weeks.

[Initech]

21. I can see my car parked outside my driveway.

:yoiks:

[texanwitch]

22. Most of my neighborhood has a street view but not our street.

I looked up my friend's house and he is standing in his yard.




The pictures look recent, maybe a year old.
