Where do you live?

[Tom Dunlap]

I found this mapping/aerial photo website and spent some time getting a bird's eye view of the ISC factory near Llenbaris, Wales and Paolo's house in Porthmadog, Gwynedd. In the UK part of the website they have the option to show a map. Then, when you move your cursor over the map it turns into the aerial view. You can toggle between the two.

I looked for the aerial view of my place but no luck. There are other aerial view mapsites for the US though.

How about posting a link to the bird's eye view of your house?

Glen sent me this site too. It will make looonnnggg URL's tiny.

That's the closest I can give. Like walking out and looking around, there's a lot of nothing out there but dying oaks falling down and buzzards hovering overhead. I zoomed in on real estate that hasn't been microscoped yet, I guess.

But that's just the way I like it!

It is a cool site though.

pretty cool only about 100 yards n. off

http://terraservice.net/advfind.aspx provides free aerial photo images and topo maps.

The maps in the site you linked to, Tom, appear to be very much like the ones Google has in their service at http://maps.google.com which is quite slick, but not of much practical use to a modem user (and be sure you enable javascript there)

Attached is a photo from the terraserver site taken in '98 of the area in which I reside. The average height of the very many trees in my "yard" is easily 80' or more.

Here's where I hang my hat - in an 1863 one-room schoolhouse in Granville VT (pop 303) [see attachment].
