New Google satellite maps (this is really cool!) - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

I just found this at Google. It's a real airial satellite view of anywhere in the world. I find it really cool and entertaining. Just click on Satelite in the upper right hand corner and then type in any address in the bar. But, some areas don't go in as close as others do, so it just depends on where the location is.

For some reason I can't go there.....they say it's something about my browser.

I honestly don't like that at all. About two months ago my Health Science teacher pulled me aside and typed in my phone number in google. There came up a map with my exact address. Now I feel much safer at home, knowing that someone could easily get my address..

At least some of those pictures have to be over fifteen years old. I looked up my location, and my house wasn't there. Just a big, empty field. It was a little disconcerting.

Yeah, my husband showed me this a couple of weeks ago. I've got it in my favourites.

It's cool, but for actual directions and simplicity, I still like Mapquest.

yeah, this definitely isn't used for getting directions. It's just for fun to see an aireal view of an area.

Actually, the map does give good directions. It showed me how to get to California from PA. It had all the street addresses I know.
