Google Earth

[MiniDiva]

Maybe this is a bit sad, but I'm sure you all understand!!

Every so often I'll have a look at google earth to see if the pictures have updated and might happen to have caught a piccie of my lovely car on the driveway.

..well, today I looked and my lovely exige that I sold last year has appeared!!! I find it quite nice to see, don't really know why!! Pics were taken around April last year.

So, here he is in all his glory:



Oh, and then I thought about Just1 who lives a few roads away...I wonder if....OH YES there he is too, doing what he does best - washing the lovely red sports racer.

Nice

Jesus what a behemoth of a house too..

[MiniDiva]

Ah ha, yes I wish! - both behemoths are carefuly sliced into a number of flats unfortunately!

Hi Mini. Yes you are right.. it was a Saturday (no activity in Lilliput school) circa 3pm (my daughter would have been having an afternoon siesta hence some "me time") and April due to the length of the telephone pole shadow for that time of day and the state of my lawn. Remember that barmy dry April and May we had last year ??

I think it was when I switched from hard top to soft top. You can see my drivers door is open suggesting I was probably cleaning the inside of the car! How sad are we, eh?

Not sad at all, I too check our house all the time, however the only thing that worries me is that you have left the longitude and latitude to a nice Sportsracer.

sorted!

[johnnyc]

you can't be too careful...

[LivinLaVidaLotus]

lol, leaving the long. and lat. are the least of your worries, I'm pretty confident I could find an address for pretty much any of you on here within about 20 minutes - as you've all pretty much posted your full names and rough locations and once you've got that, it only takes about 30s to find someone.

How often do they update the pictures on Google earth then ?

[jamiebae]

Mine hasn't changed for ages, it still has the Saxo which my neighbour sold over a year ago on the drive and no sign of any of my cars which suggests the pic is over 2 years old at least.

Here's mine.



And there are a few here.

our place was still a working barn up until about 3 years ago, and hasnt changed on Google earth so they are at least 3years out in our area ...I guess its just as they get satellite imagery from their sources come through as and when

err, not quite, that's one of the Staff car parks with the Motorsport/service garage at the bottom of the pic, go a few 100 yds south & you'll see more.

About 6 or 7 years out of date around here. They tend to update more populous areas more often, same with the higher zoom levels.
