Google Map Pictures

Post by PhantomH »

I was bored, so I decided to use the streetview feature on Google Maps. Just thought I'd post what I was looking at :P .

*WARNING: Large Images!*
Spoiler : My house during construction :
My current house when it was still in construction. Considering how the house was almost finished and I moved here just last year (It was brand spanking new!), this picture might've been taken a little over 2 years ago.

Spoiler : Ghosts? :
Are those ghosts behind that pole? :shock:

Image
Spoiler : Home of a serial killer - Dorothea Puente :
Those who live in California around Sacramento and Stockton back in the 1980s will probably know who the old lady is. If you just want to know out of curiosity, here's a link: truTV: Dorothea Puente

Feel free to post yours :D .

EDIT: Added a new picture: Home of a serial killer.

It lets you view most roads in first person, like the maps I posted for example. I just found out about it today even though it was implemented last year o_O . I like the feature in google maps more since you can actually move in a direction and turn a street corner, while Google Earth only lets you view the surrounding area of the road you picked.

Cool! I remember last time I used Google Earth, I looked at my house and the tree we chopped down about a year ago was still there.

Drag the person icon on the left side and place it on a road.

Wow, that sucks :( . My city is small, but we still get street views. My street isn't added but the street between my house and a fire station (Rieti Ln in the photo) is in there for some reason.

Street View has been available for a while in American cities, and they frequently update the number of towns covered. They more recently made it available in other countries.
Now, most of French big cities are available too. I can see my home, my cousin's, my grandparent's...

The only thing that's missing is my holiday house, since it's isolated in the country :P
