the only photo i can find of our place is when they were building the house 5 or 6 yeras ago. It's funny apparently my road got put in long before they started developing the stuff behind us.

Hmm the Bird's eye view is a bit later, but not much later because they still hadn't finsihed even putting in the road that is behind us let alone the houses that are in between us and the road. But the dirty rat bastids that owned our house had moved in, and moved their jacuzzi in

It just depends, the photo I posted is likely from last summer or early fall. It's between 2 and 6 months old, because of the Green Mercury from the 70's in the circle, my neighbor got that car after his old one was totaled out.

But the pic was taken on a tuesday cause everybody's got their trash out :p
I just checked with Google Earth, and my town isn't mapped very well. So little detail, you can barely make out large buildings.

It's weird - cause almost none of these houses depicted are brick and yet every house here is brick

Not much more resolution necessary to get a plate here! It's down to 1pxl/7.72cm image resolution!

The Birds Eye View offered by http://live.msn.com is really good. For how fast west and south west fort worth is expanding I would think there would be more up to date photos.
This was the best I could get with the MSN Live Search thing...

I've been using birds eye on local.live for sometime now. It's great for mapping out bike trails/roads to ride.
TexasGuy
01-17-07, 05:46 PM
I'll be there, and i don't even live next to us 41..
Man that's gonna be one hell of a detour to get to us 41.
Imaginary red line is drawn around the world 3 times and then connects to US 41
Eurotrip style :p
I might make a Pork Roast!
Well, maybe I'll think about it then. :rolleyes:

Here's where (http://www.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&q=nederland,+co&ie=UTF8&z=19&ll=40.054186,-105.5889&spn=0.001669,0.003712&t=k&om=1) I went hiking last year, didn't get any time to go up this winter though. And here's a live shot (http://www.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&q=nederland,+co&ie=UTF8&z=19&ll=40.054186,-105.5889&spn=0.001669,0.003712&t=k&om=1) of it.
Three easy places to get different images are
http://www.google.com/maps
http://maps.yahoo.com/index.php
http://local.live.com/
Google has the most up to date imagery, but Yahoo and Microsoft have the most complete coverage, but they can be up to ten years old, maybe more.
GlobeXplorer is nice too.

Yea, but they watermark the sh*t out of their images, and they're so small and hard to navigate.
Digital Globe, who provides a lot of Google Maps' imagery, actually just purchased them.

I loaded Google Earth, and upon double-clicking a spot in the Eastern US near the head of the Chesapeake bay, I saw the globe begin to rotate, and then, a fade to black - followed by the BSOD! :eek:
Won't be tryin that again with this PC. :o

This is the latest pic I can find showing the start of the first road, house construction started Dec 2005.
Our house will start construction next week.
The resolution isn't as good as I was expecting :(
