Title: Is your gaff on Google Map
Post by: eye30 on March 22, 2009, 16:42:13
Mine is not on. 

They didn't photo my area in the UK.

To see if you area is covered, left click and hold down on the yellow man on the left and drag over map.  Areas available will show up in blue.

Large parts of Oz are on as well as NZ:

I took a nice tour through the streets of Norwich yesterday. Nostalgia from my 5 years working there.

Current gaff not covered just yet.

Whats a Gaff? ( Sounds bad  :lol:)
maybe Dazz works for google?
A friend was showing me his iphone last year soon after they released them, it had google maps, was winter at the time, he showed me a pic of home, i said it looks better from the sky than when i left home, as it was so green, the grass had changed colour a bit in winter, but in that pic the grass was beautifull all the tree's had leafs, i could see the guy across the roads sons car parked in the street. when i got home went over told Theo and he said, those pic's are always 6 months old, then theo asked what colour was his swiming pool, i said beautifull blue, he looked releaved  :lol:.
maybe its time to sell advertising space on my Roof?
cheers

Just viewed.

Nice one Brian.

Just to let you know I've been to Aberdeen, once only but many years ago.  
Was staying with a friend who lived in Keith.

Can't remember much but had lunch in MacD's in the main street, kids only 10ish or there abouts.  Then she took us for a drive up the coast to some quaint village, can't remember name, but was picturequest. Then nade way back to Keith via Buckie and other villages.

Nope it's real, something the last owners planted.  We have a Eucalyptus in the back garden also, Scotland is warmer than you think you know.

Pic must have been taken last summer so perhaps the slates have been fixed...................

My current house is a google street view but the picture is well over 12 months old Getz and Elantra in driveway

The resolution of streetview is Tassie is much lower than what is used for Brian's house in Scotland (for example)

(http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm103/dazzling_darryl/OurPlace.jpg)

They haven't bothered with street view in the other area where I am building (most houses are on 2 acres or more so wouldn't show up very well)
