(Sorry if this is old.) Most of you know google launched their own sattilite and have an online thing where you can search for locations. but now they have a downloadable version!! It's much cooler. Runs smoother. Has 3-D terrain and other fun things. You can ever mark locations. earth.google.com we can all look at each others houses if we share the cordinates EDITness: Here's my house. "49 degrees 13'07.38N, -122 degrees 41'34.10 W" search that excactly except replace the word degrees with a degree symbol! (edited by paraplayer on 07-13-05 02:58 PM) |

HINT: Turn on the Keyhole Community BBS layers. You'll find a LOT of neat stuff to check out as a result. Danielle: It's current up to maybe a year or two ago, depending on the satellite data. Apparently stuff will be updated over time. |

Originally posted by Colleen Ah, okay. I noticed that it didn't show the area where my school is built, because it's only a few years old.. just wondering. Maybe they'll update that soon. |

Yeah. It still shows a motorhome in my yard. We sold it like two summers ago. Before ya' know it, satellites will be so advanced that we can see inside people's houses in REAL TIME! =P Snika |

Okay well.. last I checked, a house had a roof. That wasn't invisible. But it would be cool to see someone from the board run outside and wave up or something. I don't know if that's possible though. That's some advanced technology. |

even if its not real time, but it took pictures say every 20-30 seconds and put them on automatically would still be cool.. | |||

My dad installed it on the other computer for some days ago, I played around with it and it's pretty nifty. Sadly, the area where I live is low-res only. I barely can see the elementary school here. On the other hands, my mothers parents house is visible. And very sharp too. I didn't know Google maps had Europa, but they have now. Coordinates will be posted tomorrow, as I get on that other computer. |

Originally posted by RT-55J Fixed. How do you find someone's house using coordinates, can you do a search using them? If that's how, I'll post mine later, hehe. |
