Google Earth

Wow!

Just for grins I google earth'ed my address and zoomed down. It's got a pic of every address on our street. Clicked on the pic and zoomed in on it.

Cruiser is sitting right in the driveway! Was somewhat surprised at the absolute clarity of not only the zoom but the picture as well! Holy Shiat!!!

Yep, here's ours long time ago at the office..

At least I know the pics aren't super current. You've got the roof top tent on your rack and I don't have the ham antenna on the hatch or lights on the rack. Faint watermarking looks like 2007. Didn't realize I had the Crape Myrtle tree in that long (little tree to the right of the cruiser).

 

[SOCALFJ]

Yeah i figured mid 2007, maybe even earlier also. They don't want current pics due to national security.

Date's about right. Scrolled over to look at our golf course clubhouse and noticed that the green surrounds on the front nine had the grass removed. Ninth green still had the old bunker placements. We'd done a bunker redesign and drainage improvement work on all 18 holes about 2 years ago.

Cool program!

 

[cruiserruf]

wow....that's cool.

although i see a potential problem with this program

I just saw a VW van go down my street this past Saturday and a guy got out and snapped a pic and then the next house so I can only assume it was the GOOGLE team

My Fiance was upset because we had a work truck and trailer half way in the driveway while the HD was installing new windows. But it hasn't been updated yet.

They usually dont get out. I've seen the cars before. They snap while driving.

You may want to figure out whos taking pics of your street

 

[Bluetribal]

The van definitely didn't have that contraption on top. Just a guy with a nice digital camera, probably a Nikon SLR if I were to guess. I was gong to go ask him but then I saw him take picks of the neighbors house too.

Sounds more like a real estate agent or appraiser snapping pics of comps.

 

[SOCALFJ]

Yeah, definitely not Google if the guy had an SLR.
