My house was built in 2000, it's only foundations on there. Suppose once it goes out of Beta they'll update it?

Mine is no more than eighteen months old. I'm guessing February 06 looking at the amount of frost on the roof and lawn. New neighbours and my spare car are both there so can't be too long ago

I'm impressed - very cool

No pic of mine either, clicking on Ariel brings up a blank page for me, nothing there. My house is 30years old too.

Thats great, I could never get a clear image of my house from Google Earth! Just had a nosey around my old school too which was knocked down 5 years ago! Ahhhh the memories!

LOL Just managed to find scoobyclinic aswell!

That is VERY cool. Brilliant picture of my house, less than 12 months ago.

It's great that the 'birds eye view' can be rotated so that you can view your property from each of the 4 compass points (click on the compass points when in birds-eye mode)... and it doesn't just rotate the map, it's a different view.

Very cool indeed.... the pics of my house are at least as clear and detailed as TopBannana's "send a chopper up" picture - probably more so.

It is a good feature, can't be used on all locations though unfortunately! Can only see my house in top-down mode, but I can see the old pub in Notts I used to work at from several angles which is nice!

Sussex - at larger scale it's the same pics as Google Earth (the ones with the clouds over SE England ), but can zoom to 50m scale. Doesn't give a v good pic though.

Lisbon - crap, GE is waaaay better.

Powered by Navtech, I see.

That is so cool, I can see our Subaru outside our old house in Wales and the Fiero up on ramps in the drive.
