Laura007 Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 this is quite a good site, you can see pictures of your home. unlike google earth which seems to have only parts of england covered. http://maps.live.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puglet Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 Yep MSN Live map is the only one you can see my house on. However it is worse for places like Australia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 Yup, can see my house on this...and a more recent image tham Google Earth because it shows a couple of changes we have made....but it must be at least 6 months old as we have made some more since August of 06, and they aren't shown.

Jools Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 I can see our house - and my neighbour cutting the hay in the field next door! Only thing is it is years out of date - at least five, if not more?? Very interesting though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 How do you work the map type in your town to the search box roughly locate ur house - using the street view then switch to arial - and use the little slider to zoom in Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bronze Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 I cant see enough detail to sa how recent it is though my friends house hasnt been built on it. I suspect its before we moved in so off to look at the cottage insetad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

feemcg Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 I only get a thin grey line where my street is and I don't get an 'arial view' option! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cate in NZ Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 I just checked out my home too Quite a good view, but the picture must be 2-3 years old. It's after we had the extension done 4 years ago, and at a time when we had the giant paddling pool taking over the garden, but there's actually some green grass on the lawn, and not an eglu in sight.

One Man Banned Posted April 21, 2007 Share Posted April 21, 2007 OH MY! If you select the Birds Eye View there's a much newer pic of my house with the caravan on the drive and Myrtle and best bit - the Eglu! Must have only been taken last summer How is that!

Mrs Frugal Posted April 21, 2007 Share Posted April 21, 2007 My house wasn't on that one but it's just appeared on Google Earth! You can even see my old car on the drive ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basset Posted April 21, 2007 Share Posted April 21, 2007 How excellent! The photo of my house is about 5 years old, as it was before our extension, and you can see my old car. It's really nice to see an aerial view of the area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
