Google Maps is so cool

I thought Google Earth was cool too, but in Google maps I can see a pic of the apartment building where I live.

If you put your address in and then go close on it and select "street view" if your street is high-lighted in blue you may be able to see a pic of your home. (and not an overhead view like Google Earth)

All the streets in my neighborhood are shown, but I checked my parents house and only a few streets around him are available to view.

On mine the street view is the same as the satellite view, from over head.

But it's still very cool.

That's how we've been keeping track of you. FYI, there is a dead squirrel in your yard.

The images for my neighborhood seem to have about a 6-month delay. They still don't massive roadwork that's been done all summer.

Dare we post our neighborhood photos?

Oh you're right!

The cars next door but one to my place belong to the folk that moved out at the start of the (non) summer!

It's kind of tempting, isn't it!!!

Though won't that make us too easy to find?!

Rec's Hood

Probably, but I don't care. besides, look at how ugly my neighborhood is! I suppose that it's obvious, but if you do post your hood, do a geo drilldown rather than an address search.

Mem, do you need that dead squirrel, or can I have it?

You freaked my the fuck out for a second. There is currently a dead squirrel or some other black and white furry small critter in my parking space.

I don't care neither here is where I am.

Stunning!

Here is a street behind the one I live on.

I did that... it still has the road names on it!

But nice to see where you live!
How do I get the road signs off it?!

Click the Satellite button. A dropdown should appear. Uncheck the Show Labels checkbox.

Might as well put mine up too.

HERE is my place. Bare in mind, the photo is a bit older. We added a sidewalk.

Looks tons better since you restored it ;)
