Default Do you see a garden or boat in my yard?

Better yet:http://www.google.com/maps?q=187+Wil...,+NY+14609&sa=...

Or in 3D:http://local.live.com/?v=2&sp=Point....20Willowen%252...

Of course, there's no guarantee the pushpin maps to the actual physical
address. Plenty of times I've seen suburban addresses be around a half a
block out of place. Rural addresses sometimes even as much as a half mile.

Then there's the fun part of one view being significantly older than
another. Trees come and go, seasons change, etc, between the sweeps used to
take the pictures.

It's interesting to use aerial maps of street addresses to determine
validity of a business. While there are plenty of legitimate businesses run
out of the home it's sometimes a better sign to see it actually being in a
business setting. Like not ordering something mail order from an address
that doesn't look like it matches up.


I'm curioius - how do you get the hd photo? I've tried my address
and the property I own in Danielson and it won't allow me that
close a look.

That is pretty cool. Mine had to be taken about April. Pool is empty while
undergoing remodel and truck is in front.

Not everwhere is covered (yet) by Birds eye views. If the area doesn't have
the views the button won't be enabled. Otherwise you've got some sort of
browser issue.

I refused its request for cookies, and the while thing didn't work. However,
I *did* make a perfect western omelet this morning, with no cookies.

Pansy.

Speaking of cookies, do you need the interface cable for that
GPS I sent you a few years ago?

If not, I have one.

Depends. What magical things are possible with the cable? I'd read the
manual, but it's out in the garage and I'm in no mood for 4 degrees at the
moment.
