 Google Map yourself
From another thread here I was curious about google maps. Checked to see if my apartment was on there and bam there it was. Even saw my car a little down the block !
If you google your address does you place show up ?

 Re: Google Map yourself
my sis sent me an email titled "look familiar?" a couple of weeks ago. I clicked on the link she sent, and there was my house. complete with my car right in the driveway. I could even roughly place the day it was taken by the flowers my wife had just planted in the front garden. really, really creepy feeling.

 Re: Google Map yourself
I'm curious how these are taken. Its a 360 shot in the middle of the day in traffic. Chapel St is MADNESS during this time.
A little creepy is right.

 Re: Google Map yourself
one of the best google maps is this drunk guy from austrailia. He was obviously not pleased.

It's a truck that drives around with one of those 360 degree cameras (like the ones they use for virtual tours of houses). It just drives slow and the camera rotates. Crazy stuff. They haven't come through my neighborhood yet.

 Re: Google Map yourself
Since I live off a court yard this is as good as it gets... BELGRAVIA CRTI live next to Ashley Judd's dad. The house I live in was built in the early 1900's as was most of the houses in my area.

 Re: Google Map yourself
I just spent the last hour searching out the houses I grew up in and the neighborhoods and parks I played at when I was a kid. Now I think I'm depressed.

 Re: Google Map yourself
My house is on there. We knew that our house use to be white/blue, but this is the first time I've seen it in its previous colorway!

 Re: Google Map yourself
I went back to my old house back when my family and I were living there in 1984 in Sydney. The whole street , houses, trees and the dead end road is the same. Gave me the chills looking at it. Hong Kong changes every week and I forget that back home things move a lot different.
