Hi eb!

Yes, the recipes! I spoke with Spit tonight who told me about the weird recipes there!

It's, as far as I can see, only American sites, you can see? I haven't tried for my place.

I got the following message:
_______
Your search - wellington new zealand - did not match any locations.

Suggestions:

Make sure all street and city names are spelled correctly.
Make sure your address includes a city and state.
Try entering a zip code.
________

Hmm.. think we're still here as I got paid yesterday. Unless it's all a dream...

Uh oh. Guess putting the skylight in the bathroom was a bad idea.

Google labelled our college (San Juan College) as New Mexico State University...

and it just looks like they ripped off a mapquest map for my area, but that's creepy how accurate it is.

I like it, took a look at the Kennedy space centre and then found area 51, unfortunately they dont have any really good zoomable maps of Western Australia but I can get those locally anyway!!

Hi,
One place I use to use for this is terraserver.
I haven't tried them in a while, but I could get quite a good shot of my house.
Could even see plums on my plum tree if you strained your eyes enough, that is before the squirrels would eat them.

I guess google do get hit because they are "big" at the moment but they are also far more (or trying to be) invasive than many other services.

Consider that they now can universally track your mail, your desktop and now the top of your head and you potentially have a government friendly, user self imposed, tracking service.

All they are going to see on my property are the twin 155's in front, the anti-aircraft guns mounted to the roof and that launch silo in the backyard..

They shouldn't see the two tanks in the woods out back...

I did this on Keyhole a year or so ago.Unless something has changed it's not what you think. Sure you can pick out large images such as a bridge or building clearly. You can pick out roads. But unless you live in a castle the image of your house will look like a square fuzzy, blurry, undistiguishable blob..haha. Just a word for the wise before you download the software.

Yeh, and the image is at least 4 years old.

Want up-to-the-minute satellite photos? Become a terrorist. Those pics'll be done in no time.

Actually, it's beneficial to have older aerials - you can see developments and retrace history that way.

...still looking for a 1985-ish one of my area.

This hack on Craigslist and GoogleMaps is amazing: the service places all the houses/apartments for rent/sale on Craigslist as waypoints on a Google Map, color-coded by price, with links to the Craigslist ads.

Daniel Terdiman has an article in Wired about all of the candid world moments caught by the Digital Globe satellite and discovered on Google Maps--including a bombing in Baghdad and a firefight in Najaf.

Right now on the Digital Globe homepage, there's a pretty cool shot of Vatican City and the line of mourners going into St. Peter's to pay their last respects to the Pope.


the article.

Plus Area 51 'exposed'...... (very interesting....)

area 51?

teaser, more images

Paul.

Thats not area 51, input the zip code for Alamo and zoom in a little until you see a road in the upper left of the screen and then scroll left, following the road and you should wind up in groom lake, the picture is not as good as some I have seen but still it works for me.

As for the green circles they could be hybrid alien corn crops, better wear the tin foil hat!!!

Edit.

Apologies paul, I didnt look at the following pics before posting.

Yup, by the way I noticed in one of your other posts that you've been getting a few quakes, does it spoil the fishing?
