You can zoom in REAL close in high res.

Can you find...

Bill Gates house?
Area 51?
the Taj Mahal?
Stonehenge?
Pyramids at Giza?

 

[SLCentral]

Holy crap...my house looks amazing in birds-eye with the highest mag...

well, here is a good experiment: type the address 1615 N FM 1604, 78232 into both the microsoft program, and google maps. There is a wal-mart super center at the corner of these 2 highways that has been here 15+ years, as you can see on the microsoft program, nothing buts trees!

My house still looks like crap and goes to a "No Picture" screen after getting too close.

 

[wazzledoozle]

Wow the pic of my house is recent, within the lat 6 months because my mom's new car is in the pic

 

[Zoblefu]

I definately second the very old pictures part...

The office building I work in isn't on the map... and it's definately been there a while.

However, they do have it available in birds eye view, and that's very cool, and it is there.

Funny,my house is the exact pic in Google as Windows. Down to the shadows in the trees.



Peace

It's funny, because I just built a house, and if I look in one direction, there's a cornfield, another direction and there's a dirt road, then some houses appear Must have been within the last year or so.

I can zoom in more on Google in my local area, and the Windows one is older pictures.

[xit2nowhere]

You think North Koreans are using those progs too? :laugh:

 

[Vortex22]

Windows one has a much newer (and higher res) picture of my house.

 

[Spikesoldier]

not only are the pictures so old, they are in black and white

 

[Insane3D]

Can't zoom very close to mine...definately not close enough to see cars...you can just barely see the buildings.

 

[jamerdean]

My street isn't even on the microsoft map hahahaha
jam

 

[thehstrybean]

Jerusalem looks pretty cool...

 

[TheGizmo]
