    I found my house!

    The maps are rather old (Toyota Center is still being built) but it's pretty cool!

    http://www.maps.google.com

    Toyota Center

    click 'Link to page' on the right pane to make links so others can see what you've found

    I'm currently checking out New York City (you can see Ground Zero)

    EDIT:
    Ground Zero?
    Statue of Liberty
    Area 51? (notice you can't zoom higher than 4 notches)

    that is freakin awesome.

    not only can you not zoom any higher than the 4th notch on Area 51, the imagine is piss-poor..... very grainy and poor coloring. crazy stuff.

    This is bad azz. I checked out the Las Vegas strip, Rice Universiity and the home where I grew up in. Pretty sweet. I could spend all day on this.

    I can see my mom's swimming pool. (The house is kind of behind some trees.) I also found some of my apartments in Austin, etc. As for out here... "satellite imagery at this zoom level is not available for this region". :D

    That's NOTHING.
    Try the directions.

    First, try finding your home. In the address search field, add:
    from: 1510 Polk St,Houston, TX 77002 to: 77054-1573
    Where is that :eek: ?

    Click on each TURN on the right side listings... :eek:

    after seeing the Rockets, you want to go see the Texans. :D

    That's weird. I could have sworn part of what I thought was Disney World was blurred out.

    I looked up my house. The pics must have been taken a little over 3 years ago. My house hadn't been built yet, but some others on my street were.
