Got the 2, I personally prefer Google Earth

NotoriousREV

I prefer Google Earth 'cos I can see my brother James on it! Seriously, if you go to 28 06 55.53N 16 39 27.78W you'll see a couple of parachutes about to take off. The pink one is my brother, he's the only person in his flying club to have or have had a pink parachute!

Also, follow that road, it's Scooby heaven!

chump

tried both previously and much prefer google earth.....

Is google earth a live satellite thingy ??

Mark Miwurdz

No. I seem to remember hearing that the images are a couple of years old.

Rev - What were you on about ??

NotoriousREV

Cut and paste 28 06 55.53N 16 39 27.78W into Google Earth and look at the pink oblong. It's my brothers parachute in the photograph.

john sugar

Thought that was a fable - but the truth is out there.

Smiler

Nope. It still has the old Wembley Stadium.

What is it about pink parachutes NotRev?

It works, and I got to find out where Tenerife is. Result.

NotoriousREV

Not sure when it was taken, but there are several photos stitched together to cover that whole area that seem to have been taken over a 2 year period.

My mum's house is east from where the parachute is (not very far) and shows her old white Sierra parked outside. They got rid of that car about 18 months before my brother got his pink parachute. Two of my mum's neighbours have swimming pools. One house shows the pool which was built 12 months after the other house which doesn't show the pool! (If that sentence makes any sense).

I also find it weird that they have really detailed photos of the middle of nowhere in Tenerife but haven't got most of the UK sorted

jasey

My house isn't even on google earth. It was built a year ago - and houses that have been here for 2 years aren't there either.

Just a load of Trees.

It certainly aint "Live".

sti-04!!

They arent the clearest photo's either

I believe Google are updating the programme. But its quite slow, so it will be done but its not a high priority for them.

If you definetly want a aerial picture of your house. www.Getmapping.com will sell you an actual paper one. (They have a reduced detail sample when you put your postcode in)
