Google maps.........
« on: June 21, 2005, 12:25:12 »
Hi all........unsure whether to put this in shed or watershed......but there you have it.....


.......sell all your shares in streetmap.co.uk and multimap......google are beta testing their own version, which looks very good indeed.

Lots of satellite images....and a very good zoom.......

....we are all visitors to this earth........enjoy your stay.....:)

Lots of rather out of date satellite images - can't see the housing estate my mother lives on - has been there for 6 years or so.

Well we had a play tonight...with the map site  ::) and it is very thorough, right down to locating where Ava works, and there is a bus in the street!  ;D

this has been out for a while - thanks for posting it though.
the US version (which naturally was out first) has area 51 and the white house 'blurred' out in the satellite version - there is something they dont want us to see (in the case of the white house it's clearly GWB, but roswell? ???

Good try - gl542nb is only the other side of the village from us!!

But the allotments are there, to the south - large as life.
