Just type in your address in the box that says "Use Current Map View" then click the arrow next to the box.
A map of the area you typed in will come up...then click "Bird's Eye" in the box in the left corner and start searching for your house. It is really freaky!
Here is a picture of my house...
Nighthawk76 03-18-2006, 01:47 AM Yep
Heart Shaped Box 03-18-2006, 02:47 AM Umm I did all of it and the bird thing doesn't show up on mine.
Fleet 03-18-2006, 03:03 AM That's really interesting. Here is my house... :D
swedeace 03-18-2006, 03:07 AM Whoa!
This is cooler - and equally creepier - than Google Earth! :eek:
EmoJoe 03-18-2006, 12:02 PM Umm I did all of it and the bird thing doesn't show up on mine.
same here
EmoJoe 03-18-2006, 12:29 PM i think i found ittttt!
SBTB Geek 03-18-2006, 01:26 PM Freaky... and what's even worse is how the images are HQ! If Microsoft has such good access to our homes via satellite, imagine what the government has access to!
Mijada 03-18-2006, 01:48 PM I found mine but there are so many trees around that you really can't see much. Our barn shows up really good though
Ireneparalegal 03-18-2006, 01:51 PM I have Google Earth, it does the same thing. However, bird's eye view is not available for everyone. It is for only select areas Brian.
Ireneparalegal 03-18-2006, 01:55 PM FOR THOSE WHO CARE, HERE IS THE PLAYBOY MANSION...

gilligan fanatic 03-18-2006, 08:50 PM That site has an excellent shot of my house from the front. In fact it even has some of my neighbors in the shot. My house is on the other side of Fleet's house ;)

Actually it didn't even have a picture of my house, it just showed a map of it.
Coffeecup 03-18-2006, 08:53 PM Yes I have tried it and it is great. Googleearth I couldn't get. But from seeing what others have written I don't think I am missing much. This is better.
EmoJoe 03-18-2006, 08:56 PM i want google earth.
cause the stupid birds eye view doesnt work for some towns i wanted to go to
Courtnee 03-18-2006, 09:03 PM It doesn't work for me but here's one for google earth
Ireneparalegal 03-18-2006, 09:23 PM i want google earth.

I know. google earth, at least you can see any address, this one shows selected areas...i couldn't get a bird's eye view of my house, only a map. I don't need to know how to get to my house...:lol: :lol:
Google earth, I can see my house and my car in the driveway, parked all crooked:crazy:
Gilligan...LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey, I think that's my "wife." The one in the white shirt. :D
BTW, I definitely found my house. I could see one of my cars parked in the street, and all of the trees were in the right location.
gilligan fanatic 03-18-2006, 09:47 PM Hey, I think that's my "wife." The one in the white shirt. :D
You got a lovely wife ;)
you know, I just noticed that Mary Ann and the Professor a very similar looking shirt.
EmoJoe 03-18-2006, 09:49 PM heres my house btw
Brieannas21 03-18-2006, 09:57 PM I found my house, it was still far off. It wouldn't let me use the birds eye feature, and that whole print screen thing to capture the picture doesn't work on my computer for some reason.
Fleet 03-18-2006, 10:48 PM You got a lovely wife ;)
Thanks... she is great! :)
Ireneparalegal 03-18-2006, 10:56 PM Thanks... she is great! :)
i thought the woman in your avatar was your wife...:eek:
Courtnee 03-18-2006, 11:01 PM i thought the woman in your avatar was your wife...:eek:
:rofl:
Czas na Zywiec 03-18-2006, 11:06 PM Wow, some of you have huge homes.
As for me, I couldn't get it on that, so I did it on Google Earth. First is my apartment. It's on the third floor, so I'm right under the roof. :D And the second one is the view I have from here. Er....except for that crevace. Must be just a computer glitch cause that's just a street
EmoJoe 03-18-2006, 11:41 PM is there any way i could go on google earth WITHOUT downloading it? cause i doubt my mom will let me download it...-__-
Fleet 03-19-2006, 12:47 AM i thought the woman in your avatar was your wife...:eek:
Uh-oh... now you caught me. I guess I'll have to dump one. ;)
The problem is: which one?
Ireneparalegal 03-19-2006, 12:56 AM Uh-oh... now you caught me. I guess I'll have to dump one. ;)

Hmmmm, well since the one in your avatar has her face covered, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure that one out.:lol:
Fleet 03-19-2006, 01:08 AM Hmmmm, well since the one in your avatar has her face covered, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure that one out.:lol:
Yeah, I guess I'll stick with Mary Ann.
Too bad... the Wandering Spirit did have some good points... like being able to walk (or float) through walls and disappear.

www.mapquest.com used to have it set it where you could run a search for aerial directions/maps off their website. I checked a few minutes ago, but I no longer see it. My theory is they took it off their site because of all the competition from Google and MS on aerial directions. Sorry. :(
