Google maps just started implementing satellite views...now you can get a satellite map of a route, which i bet would be useful for deciding alternate routes based on potential traffic, terrain, etc. or you can just use it to look at people's houses and find the best bushes to hide in when you're stalking them.

this is where i live

http://maps.google.com

click on the link that says "satellite" next to "maps" in the upper righthand corner.

[explodet]

That's pretty freakin' cool.
I found my place in 2 minutes.

 

[demon]

Be hardcore like me and find your place just by zooming in.

 

[Bristow]

They don't have a zoomed in shot of my area.

At this point I'll WELCOME the day Google implants a google brain chip in my head. Freaking Google!

There is my place of employment.

[DarienA]

They don't have a zoomed in shot of my area.

Same here... which is weird because I know that the regular Keyhole software does.

I'm curious... how are folks capturing the pictures from the site?

 

[Kon Tiki]

Print screen?

 

[Archaix]

Google only has a very zoomed out view of state college. But it is pretty damned funny to look at the city crammed in this tiny space with farms in every direction as far as the eye can see.

 

[Azih]

My place of work, old school and home are mapped down to max zoom. I aint posting it on here for you freaks.

 

[Nerevar]

w00t.

And to everyone posting how they won't put their house up .. do you really think that people are going to figure out where you live by a satellite photo with no additional info?

 

[videogamer]

Is it me, or posting the exact location of one's home on the too-much info side?

Considering my place is beside a river with a huge fucking waterfalls and the US border, I think my doubt have reasons.

You're in Nevada?

 

[olimario]

These are ancient pictures.
I hope they update them soon.

 

[Kon Tiki]

You're in Nevada?

See what I mean? People are already driving to my area.

 

[Sh0k]

Here is my house :

Everybody around me has a pool :-(

 

[demon]

Olimario do you live in one of those monopoly-house neighborhoods surrounded by nothingness that I always see while driving between two areas of civilization?

 

[itschris]

Same here... which is weird because I know that the regular Keyhole software does.

They didn't have mine either last time I checked (yesterday), but now they do. So I guess they're still adding more.

I'm at the edge of civilization.
A huge suburb to the north and 10 miles of nothingness to the south.

 

[Memles]

I'm curious... how are folks capturing the pictures from the site?

Same here.

And, as far as I can tell the satellite shot of my subdivision is more or less 1 1/2 to 2 years old...I wonder if all are about the same.

[Outcast2004]

[ManaByte]

 

[olimario]

Where do you live?
Unless that one story home is like 6000 sq ft. it shouldnt cost that much.
COOOOMMMMEEE TOOOO TEEEEXXXAAASSS

Print Sceen button.

When I press print, it simply brings up my printer to print it.

Fresno CA, and its about 5000sqf but the thing is its a fucking smart house and its got a bunch of techy stuff in it. All prewired with a bunch of crap. And then you get into exterior stuff. To top it off its in a gated community.

Taxes and fees are a mother fucker.

Question: are these all flyovers? Cause a lot of them at least where my new house is located look like fly over shots.

 

[ManaByte]

Ok Olimario is no longer allowed to post pictures of his house AND his beach house in the same thread.

 

[suikodan]

Wow, this is scary!

 

[demon]

Ok Olimario is no longer allowed to post pictures of his house AND his beach house in the same thread.

Olimario's dad works at NASA.

Wouldn't that just result in more Olimario threads?

 

[Rocket9]

Damn, they dont have a zoom in picture.

Oh well, I think im gonna go play SimCity and recreate it myself

 

[olimario]

There's a scandal. Son of JSC employee sells naked pictures of "girlfriend" on the net for a Sony PSP. Film at 11.

You can't see shit in Kentucky. Google sucks!

The greys that control our family made me do it.

Home Map...kind of smallish, but it's the best example. Pond across the street is full of disgusting water. One time I saw two teenagers swimming in it. I didn't like them, so I decided against informing them of its water quality.

School map. That's pretty well the entire campus in the upper right, missing the lower parts. It's not a real satellite map (Out in the middle of nowhere) but it was really easy to find in the end due to the complete and total lack of anything in the town other than the University.

These ones didn't turn out well, but the left one is my residence, and the other one is a Tower Residence.

Original Plan: 2 20-Story Towers, interconnected, on the site.
Reason to Change Plan: Tower 1, at 13 stories, began tilting.
Current Building: 13 Story building with walls on the 14th floor, tilting at a 5 Degree angle.

How did you guys manage to get the big shots? For the life of me, I couldn't get it to save.
