Title: Is your car on google mapsv (satelite photos)
Post by: carbore on December 26, 2007, 20:57:33
Ok, all the women are watching some chick flick so I have spent about 20 mins trying to find cars I have owned on Google maps.

Try your old houses, where you worked etc.  I couldnt find any but someone must be imortalised esp landrovers that have  been rusting/resting in fields.

PS Does anyone know if you can date the photos, some look earlier than other, maybe 1990-Current ???


Have fun.

They've finally taken some new photos of where I live, so I can actually see my motor for the first time

50°53'34.07"N, 1°26'28.58"W

Just to the,ummm, left and up a bit.....theres a 110 that belongs to Terrain Adventures too..

Google earth also has proof that I do actually do some work every now and then...

here

50°53'42.69"N, 1°25'5.74"W

Thats my raft, and I was driving that day....

It would seem that they've updated the Southampton area in the last 2 months....

Just noticed your talking google maps, and not google earth...oooops..

looked at mine

my old house must be from 1988 - 1992 as it has grass on the front garden and it got graveled around 1992 time (NN16 0LF)

and the current address has got my dads / mums disco out side the house and my series on the corner of the street so it is 2003 - 2005 (NN15 6HG)

I can see the house and one of the cars but can't make out which it's either the disco or the vectra :?  we use the same two parking spots for both cars and it's not too clear.

Warning, be carefull when posting the images and make sure no one can get any details of where you live.

It only takes a low life to see your details and any longitude and latitude on the pics or recgonise the area and your telling them you have a tricked up car outside for the taking, or they look on here find out through a comment you make when your out and then screw your house.

Very cynical I know but it could happen .

Miserable git I am  :lol:  :lol:

nope my house is still the same, old though because there is gravell out side and it is now grass (had to change it, kids from up the road kepet on picking the stones up and lobbing them at each other)
typed in google earth :D

o thought i would share this with you, using google earth as a flight simulator (pretend your a piolot) you must have the newest version of google earth installed though. when on it press CTRL +ALT+A (different for mac useres ofcause) when your bored and have nowt to do give it a try :D

heres a link to more commands

I've not even moved into my house on Flashearth!! and I've been here for 6 years!!! So had a look at my old place and the back garden hasn't been done yet, so that ages it at 9 years old at least, you can make out my series 2a on the road though!
