goto google maps:
http://maps.google.com/
type in your house address

if you are in a reasonably well trodden area:
click on street view, and with the arrows in the photograph, you can
navigate 3 or 4 houses at a time.

the street view button must be there, and a heavy blue line around the
street.

I have a daughter living in a dead end court. Her property has 4
pictures in street view.

Another daughter living in Darwin NT, doesn't get a mention, in fact it
looks like all of NT (Australia) doesn't get a mention.

Have fun,

Cheers Don...

Nah, there's a bit of it there - zoom out to a whole-state view, click
Street View and look at the blue-outlined bits. Looks like they
turned off at Katherine and continued over to Broome (or came from).
And they took the photos for Brisbane early this year at the latest.

I'm in the DC area and we haven't been mapped yet even though I see more
and more areas around us keep showing up. My Sister in Louisville KY got
her home mapped many months ago. I grew up in Louisville and had fun
visiting all my old hang outs with street view.

I'm still waiting for the live web cam version so you can see the earth in
real time. :)

New today for Australia and Japan, but that wasn't the way it was
announced here.

Apparently it has been available in France and the US for some time.

Pretty amazing anyway.
A good friend of mine has his wife out the front watering the plants
from a bucket, with laundry water. Water restrictions here in most of OZ
right now.

Another says there is a dog crapping on his front lawn. And the dog's
face isn't masked out either. :)

Cheers Don...

Wasn't it snowing in Sydney recently? What I saw looked like the snow
here. It goes in one day.

Yeah, if I only knew when the van was going to come by, I'd stand out and
wave or do something else stupid for it. :)

I thought it might be fun to put a large date/time display on the roof so
the next time they took a satellite picture I would have a good time stamp
for when it happened. Same idea would work for the street view van if I
put a display of some type out front.

Under sufficient zoom, the satellite view is actually from an airplane at
about 3000 ft.
My vehicle was visible outside my Mom's home in the pictures but a recent
look
shows that there has been an update and my vehicle is missing.

There was no street view at that time but I'll check again just for the fun.

Yes. I rented an apartment in New York for a week earlier in the year. I
used Google street view to "walk down the street" and check it out. Saw
that both a subway entrance and Starbucks was on the corner. Pretty cool
stuff!

Not much mention here either (Cameron Park, California). Ok, some folks
say it's really only a truck stop but that ain't so.

What bugs me most is that since a few weeks the dang maps don't print
out anymore. Only near-blank pages. Tried on different printers, none
works with Google maps anymore.

Thanks Don, was wondering when the Aussie version would come online,
the Google Van went around quite some time ago.
Sadly it missed my little cul-de-sac though.

It's been around for a while now but I still find Google street view
simple amazing...

I saw $1.33/L last night in Sydney.
Happily paid $2.11 last week in WA for what was advertised as
Australia's most expensive petrol, only to return home to hear someone
we know paid $2.15 in Alice Springs the same week - damn, I was hoping
for bragging rights.

roads that are not sealed. That area doesnt even have arial photos, but it
has street view.

Apparently a bird in the US knew the vehicle, and lifted her top when it
went past. :)

Many other unusual stories starting to surface. Listening to radio 3AW
this morning, they had people ringing in with the stories, and the for's
and against.

Concerns about home security, ability to check out real estate
properties and local schools/facilities, potential wealthy customers for
large value purchases, see if a supplier has a real property, or just an
office, or even a vacant block, is the potential girl friend wealthy,
etc., etc.

The more thought you put into it, the more you can squeeze out of it.

Cheers Don...
