So...who's looked up their house on the new Google Earth?

Horsham and most of West Sussex (it would seem) haven't been done yet. I've already checked out where I used to live in London and my parents' house in Northern Ireland (nice copper beech in the front garden:D).

 

Haven't done so yet Aaron, but will over the weekend. been a big hoo-ha about it hasn't there? Was it really clear?

cheers

 

There's been a huge hoo-ha about it. My partner is dead against it though, so he's delighted we haven't been "mapped" yet.

Its very clear. Put it this way, I can see the colour of the berries on the climber growing up the side of my parents house!

 

Not sure if this will work ... we tried this last year and mine didn't ... so I'm putting two links up .... I'm the red dot on the right and our friends are the red dot on the left ... it's all orchards in between ...





I've previewed it and I can see it ...

 

Works and it looks remote! Our bags are packed and we're coming to visit Victoria! :gnthb:

 

We are not on, but my brothers house is.
As plain as a photo you would take yourself.
I'm not sure I like it.

 

Evening Aaron .... what time does your plane land ..... ?

I think you are really probably talking about this thing I saw on the TV late last year with the vehicles with the space antenni (spelling?) on top ????

Don't think they would find me ... I'm sort of remote .... :hehe:

That's a 15-17 minute cycle ride to our friends ... and all the 'roads' are dirt tracks through the orchards except for a few badly tarmaced bits ....:D The big curved line behind me (some 200 meters) is the Algarve to Lisbon electrified line.

 

That's the one:thumb: Sounds like you're safe from their cameras for the time being. Unlike the poor bloke caught coming out of the Soho sex shop whose pic was removed from Google Earth....although not before it was viewed and published:D

 

Do you just go in to Google Earth to get this? Being lazy I know, but I'm busy on here!

cheers

 

This is probably just a "fun" thing but, although it's come a bit late, we seem to be heading towards a "1984" society and, with Big Brother all around us these days, it seems to be another intrusion into our privacy which many people don't like, including myself.

 

I've been browsing Cairns for months...my Bro in law even looked out of his window to see if I was in his road talking to him on the phone as I described his garden:hehe:

My house is only an over view as yet as I'm sure we all are....so don't panic,as long as you aren't building a missile launcher you'll be fine:D

 

I am not happy about this at all !
Some chap has got my road on this thing and its a bloody good job that I had got the curtains closed at the time. I think its way too intrusive and as I am a very private person, I dont want the world gawping in my front garden, I might have me rollers in or be putting the bin bags out in my wellies and PJ`s. How very dare they !!!!!

 

If fellow forum members gawped into my front garden at the moment I'd probably be banned for life. Must get the rollers out of my hair, put the wellies on and start having a tidy-up!

 

Sounds great. I'll have to try getting this. I have too, too many overhead trees to worry about window lurking, LOL.

 

oooh im addicted!!!! :lol:

ive been all over the world!! from the gates of graceland to the eiffel tower to miami beach!! and many stops in between!

My area ( a small village about 15 miles from Notts) is not on , but my home city of Aberdeen is on, and i have been to look at my old family homes, my old places of work and allsorts!! its GREAT.

I dont personally see any problem with it, anyone in the world could walk down your street, look over your fence and see a helluva lot more!!

love it!! :up:
