Freebird Posted September 23, 2007 Share #1 Posted September 23, 2007 The last time I tried Google, it showed a vacant field where my house is. I don't know if they have updated their maps or now. I just tried Live Earth though and it is showing pictures within the last couple of years. Here is the one of my place. Luckily it was taken while those pond monsters were present.

Redneck Posted September 23, 2007 Share #2 Posted September 23, 2007 Very nice not a single piece of yard equipment in the pond at least not above water level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freebird Posted September 23, 2007 Author Share #3 Posted September 23, 2007 Yea...the good thing is that most of that stuff goes straight to the bottom of the pond. Keeps it looking nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

juggler Posted September 23, 2007 Share #6 Posted September 23, 2007 Dang, that pond looks bigger than my house and yard. It even has a dock! Nice place. Eventually I'll have a place with lots of room. Then I'll make sure to put a fence around the pond. Our Place - The house with the bright white roof.

Tigeress Posted September 23, 2007 Share #7 Posted September 23, 2007 Nice place, Freebird! That ain't no pond, that's a lake! I keep telling Juggler that we need to paint a big smiley face on our roof. Juggler is more of an entrepreneur and thinks we should rent out the roof as advertising space.

jneed53 Posted September 23, 2007 Share #8 Posted September 23, 2007 My apartments, which are now 4 years old also do not appear. Just shows a vacant area. Wish that theory would apply to some of the neighborhood around here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lone Eagle Posted September 24, 2007 Share #9 Posted September 24, 2007 Don, now I understand why your equipment goes into the pond!!!! You are trying to use that ramp in the pond to jump - ala Evil Kneivel - to the other side :rotf:. You need to build up a better angle :rotf: Great looking place.

Venturous Randy Posted September 24, 2007 Share #10 Posted September 24, 2007 Of all the "earth" programs I have looked at for my area, all appear to be from 5 to 8 years old. Weather.com now has an interactive program that also includes satellite pictures and it is even that old. I wish they were a little more current.

Freebird Posted September 24, 2007 Author Share #11 Posted September 24, 2007 I agree. I also see that they are NOT all using the same images. This Virtual Earth is the first one I've seen that shows my house. Google Earth still shows a vacant field. On the other hand, Google Earth does show my previous house in Dallas but Virtual Earth doesn't. The image that Google shows for the Dallas house is not nearly as good as this one though. OK...I stand corrected. I just looked again. They both show pretty much the same image of the house in Dallas but Google still doesn't show the house in Ohio.
