i dont know if this has been posted, but google came up with this idea to give out your adress information and an actual map for it, all you gotta do is just go to google.com type in your number with an area code, and they show you the results. Its cool in some way, but then there goes our privacy.
Yeah I did that. I requested for it to be taken down and it did though so I guess it's fine.
how do you punch in your number? I want to see if it has mine. . . It might be only if you are listed.
Yea, you've been able to do this for a while now actually, but it's no big deal. Like orangeman said, they'll privitize for you if you wish.
It doesn't work on cell phones anyway and thats all I use so no worries here. :)
LoLzzz...
Freedom of Information act, just another way to watch the ant farm. . .
Whats that green arrow on the bottom skink?
You think it works for the philippines too? imma try it hehehe..

Skink - that from google earth? I cant get my pad up on that, they havnt done it - it's just all blurry, although i can see the place where i work in good detail.

Ahhahaha,,,the bacon has already been here and left a ton of stinky fat behind...
I thought google map was satellite that worked all over the world... the gas station next store has cars parked in different areas than the map so I guess these are old images that are pulled up... I wonder what controls the image taking,,,I would think the program is old enough to have covered every inch our our planet...
when I put my address in the arrow pointed to the street in front of my place... so it goes by street number and not land and house...Quote:

do this one, i cant seem to make it work thats the 7-11 where i used to work.
Here ya go...
the reason that some images are blurry and some aren't is because the images are taken from statelites from private companies. Those private companies sell the images to the government and then the government publishes them. The government has almost every place but they only request images in areas they want. For instance the White House is going to have a much better/updated picture then hicksville out in the middle of Alabama. Some of them will even be in Black and White. Also, it's hard to take these pictures. There has to be almost NO CLOUDS in the sky.
Alot of the very detailed stuff is actually done by planes. It's only the main view that's done by sattalite.
LOLL they have my wrong address....
This only works if the number is published and listed with the phone company. It usually only pertains to landlines, not cellphones. Most of the cell providers try to keep their subscribers phones numbers private for obvious reasons.Quote:

Where do you live. And have you seen any more updates? It could have just been that that's when they chose to update it because my hous epictures is atleast 5 yrs old. I know because it's stil got a tree in there that we cut down like three yrs agoQuote:

i've tried quite a few numbers, and they all lead me to diffrent parts of the country... when they're all numbers in my city... (wifes work, ours, etc..)
I think it's updated depending on where you are. Im not spreading no B.S.
3 Years?!? Ok i bought my car a few months ago, and it's RIGHT there in my garage on google earth.
So i guess it depends on where you are..
