Pretty cool new service from google. Type in your address and view a satellite image of your neighborhood.

http://maps.google.com/

Make sure to click on "Satellite" in the top, right hand corner first.

Dang, how many NYers do we have here?

We should have had the TT convention here....

Oh, you go to Pratt eh MAX? My cousin graduated from there some years back. Up until late last year I lived right here, a little closer to you.
And yeah, I say we have an East coast TT convention in the fall, after the June one. I'd bet money there are more TT'ers out here than we know about.

Tuesday, April 12, 2005 at 2:22:19 PM

WHOA!! I've been using Google Maps for awhile now (always gives me a better route then yahoo or mapquest, and it looks better) but I've never noticed the satellite feature.

Tuesday, April 12, 2005 at 2:23:29 PM

Whoever knew maps could be so fun...

I read that they just started offering the sat images a week or two back....

Great stuff - up until now you usually had to pay bucks for any decent-recent imagery.

Tuesday, April 12, 2005 at 2:47:23 PM

Too bad I cant see yours, When ever I click a link I get a error on all of them... :S B)

Didn't know there was only one continent – North America – in the world! Wow, I guess the saying it true: everyday you learn something new.

You don't have to let go of one rope before grabbing the other. But you'll have to let go of one if you want to swing forward.

That's why it's still in Beta, Triv. ;)

Check out 1600 Pennsylvania Ave in DC. They have the White House masked so you can't see any details.
