Your house on Google Street View
Thought it would be fun to see where you all live now, or before, or both.
For those that don't know about Google street view, just go to Google, then click on maps, then just keep zooming in till you find your house and eventually it will turn into street view. It's very cool. I'm not addicted at all. Honest :blink: Our wee house in Glasgow: http://www.carartz.com/other/misc/home.jpg Oh, meant to say. Once youfind your house, press the PRT SCR button on your keyboard. That will put the image onto your clipboard, then you can open a paint program and paste as new image. |
Re: Your house on Google Street View
only works in a few areas of UK.... Obviously the google car hasnt put in all the miles it needs to yet.
(By comparison Australia is very comprehensively mapped and the Google car recently did a 2nd lap to update pictures) |

You publish your address on the internet? Are you crazy? You must be if you expect others to do this.
It's easy enough to blurr our an address if you want to, personally, I think if someone wants to know where you live they can find out much easier than searching through a forum. And anyway, I have a dog that could chew through a steel cage :thumbup: |

I can see why you'd want to move to Canada ;)
And I bet you didn't notice it's a semi, so only half of that is ours :( But it's in a nice area, so not the end of the world if we have to stay a while. Why are folk so paranoid about showing where you live? Do you actually think anyone really gives a crap? :D |

Re: Your house on Google Street View
This is the post code of where I lived in the UK. SW1A 1AA I think it comes up if you google it.
I am not putting my Canadian post code on here, too risky. I just want a quiet life now. |

Re: Your house on Google Street View
I can see into my garage. The door was open. Oddly, though, it attributes a number to my house that does not exist. There is no number 60.

Bing.com/maps often gives a clearer view that google, particularly in areas that are covered by the 'Birds eye' aerial view. I looked but couldn't identify your house from blog posts. (by the way what happened to the blog anyway?).
http://www.bing.com/maps/#JndoZXJlMT...4xNTMzNTg0NTk= The link above is to a point about fifteen miles away from the house, if I scroll to the same location as I used with google, I get images of the same quality so I suppose they have a common source. |
