I found where my house should be, but theres logos all over the damn image, and they took the photo at the wrong time of day so my side of the street is covered in shadows - can't see a damn thing.

Pretty neat tho.

You can take a pretty close look at my city here:

I hope the link works. Just zoom in where it says "Trollhättans tätort"

Not exactly Satelite picture, though.

Edit: I can see my house with this map.

8 Years out of date.. ehh. what can ya do?
Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada October 1994 The effects of the continental ice sheet that covered the northeastern part of North America about 15 000 years ago is evident in the physical landscape surrounding the city of Halifax, Nova Scotia. The many lakes are the result of glacial scouring as the ice sheets advanced and then retreated, leaving low, water-filled areas. Most of the rural areas of the glaciated landscape are now covered by northern coniferous forests. The city of Halifax is located along the south side of Halifax Harbour. The metropolitan area including Dartmouth (the city along the northern side of Halifax Harbour), with a population of approximately 320 000, is the largest Canadian commercial center with direct access to the Atlantic Ocean. The natural harbor affords ideal drydocks, dockyards, and transshipping facilities for both imports and exports. The numerous thin, white lines radiating from the metropolitan area are highways, railroads, and power line rights-of-way extending across the forested hinterland. The runways of two major airports are visible—the T-shaped runways of Halifax International Airport approximately 15 miles (25 kilometers) north of the urban area and the runways of the Shearwater CFB (military base) east of Dartsmouth. During World War II, many ship convoys were assembled in Halifax Harbour for the transatlantic crossing. St. Margaret Bay is the large bay southwest of the Halifax area.

No, I mean a GPU, period. The term was coined for the GeForce 256 graphics chip. TNT2's don't qualify.

This is our council home.


1 min from my home

This tram i always took to school.

[beatspete]

Hmm, none of those sites are particularly great... the nearest good image i could get was about 180 miles away.
I have a nice satalite photo of half of scotland on my wall, you can see my village easilly, and even make out my street.... I'll try and take a photo.

I don't think it would be a very good idea to post such precise explanations of you're street adress, you never know who will be reading this

[Grey Wolf]

Here's mine:

That's mine at the end of the street.

Hey, we're on the same map, BL... I'm near the head of the Severn River, which is barely poking in the bottom edge of the image.  And Locust Point (where I work) is also visible, near the center of the screen.

At this scale, I can't find my house, though   In fact, the only man-made thing immediately visible is the Key bridge...

I am on that Maryland map as well. I was able to zoom in enough to very vaguely make out my house but the watermarks do not allow you to see much.

[aldo_14]

Bah...the only place with my town name I could find is on a completely different continent.

One should hate another pretty much before he is going to travel a long distance (in most cases) to go and do something bad... and that's pretty hard to understand from those where someone actually lives.
 
And no-one knows where I live, except that I live in Finland... happy searching.
