Recently I've discovered google maps ([URL]), it's really useful. It also has satellite views now, but the high resolution ones are only in North America :(

Anyways, here are some nice views:

^ my school :P

^ my building (right most large building in the center of the pic)

Show me some place of yours :p

i found that awhile ago :P it is cool but you should try the program Keyhole that google also owns

Maps like those pictures are utterly useless.

And only for big cities :((

Ive always liked how they censor the white house :P

How do i zoom in to get those kinds of pictures?
Edit: got it!
Here's my house :D

Teh red circle..
I wonder if anyone can figure out what state I live in... =o
Ocean-front almost..our own island..that looks like a turtle, and a little mini-bridge :D
Lovely!

You should watch out for that black abyss right outside your house

Water :D

I cant zoom in more becuz it's not North America.

I take back my earlier comment...despite a lack of things like a lack of a key/scale/etc, it's still a kick being able to zoom in so close on the satalite. I'm sure there are other mapping sites/programs out there for those of you interested in seeing other parts of the world. I'll hafta look..

What this world needs is a service where people wait in line to control a spy satellite in real time :D

i never knew pacman lived in bakersfield!

Keyhole is excellent :P

Wow Elemental, I would not feel comfortable living there with the being surrounded by water and risk of being washed away by a hurricane :p

Omg, you shouldve seen last hurricane..our little tree broke in front :(
But, my dad specially designed our house for hurricanes, with "tree-proof" glass (XD), and also pilings under the house..and then in the back, our house is made above sea level..i think
But it was great last season..thrilling and exciting..but also the looming hurricane. We went to our friend's house during..Ivan, i think?
What would be funnier..is if that little bridge that connects the island to the rest of the world, just fell..XD We'd be stuck there..unless we swam across, lol

hey here is my area, w00t

That should say Austin Harris Park, i think im mentally handicapped
