Re: Your house on Google Street View
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?).

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.

Re: Your house on Google Street View
My Canadian post code is L0N 1S6. Putting that into google gets me within 5 miles of the house. Scrolling and zooming in as far as google supports in satellite view, I can make out my barn but not the house. The google streetview horse and cart will be some years getting to me.

Re: 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
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.

Before (Mersyside) . . . after (bucolic Montreal, QC).

Identity theft is big business, I would not recommend posting specifics like names, phone# email or physical address.

Re: Your house on Google Street View
It covers an area of about 80 square miles. There is probably enough info and pictures posted here to track me down though if you really wanted too.
Streetview doesnt yet pass my door though.
