I overlooked the link the first time through also. I have added my little blip to the map

I fyou guys like mapping stuff and aerial views you can download a program called "google earth" from google. After its installed you can get satellite views of anywhere in the world. Some areas have better resolution than others. Most of the shots are a few years old but its still pretty cool.

The satelite view is so far up on mine that you can't see any details. I can make out where the main roads around town are (lines), but thats about it.

download the google earth program, then you can enter in yoru addy and it will fly you to your house (or foarly close, there is some error) then you can adjust how close you can get, depending on the resolution. If you are using a modem connection it will take forever.

Its pretty cool

I found a geographic survey (governement site) thing a while back that had the same images too. I live in a small town (10K) in the middle of nowhere. Not too many foreign governemnts satellites spying on us I guess (Our own don't even see us). LOL

Beautiful Seattle for me, look at the pictures in my gallery I took yesterday, and you will see why I say that. And, don't believe everything you hear about it always raining in Seattle. I grew up in southern California, been here 5 years and don't miss the inland empire one little bit. Well I do miss IN & OUT BURGER !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (LOL)
