They just might not have a very good picture of where you live...

They only have high res (and IMO thats a bit of a stretch ) shots of major cities, the rest are low res.

I think they may have a 3d map of San Fran too, if anyone lives there

Indeed, San Francisco is in 3D (shows the buildings, not just the mountains).

What a crappy city they had to waste it on...

Can't run this. Only works on Windows 2000 or XP. And no way am I installing XP ... had enough fun and games making my machine a Win98/Linux dual boot ...

I want a Linux version!

Here's my kids house...ex's van in the driveway, kids' play stuff in the yard

It is kind of old though, he no longer has that van &amp; they have lawn now (the sub was relatively new at the time they did this).

ok tell me how to get rid of my address and i will i couldn't get rid of it, really:%)

anyways if you want to come find me on that street corner ya'll are welcome to, but fair warning, you gotta get through cleo and she's in the mood she was in when i tried to evacuate and my neighbor watches my apt, and uh he has a gun and shoots at will

but really tell me how to get rid of the addy on it, and i'll repost

frank i can't help you on the blurriness...i found my old apt in presidio and it's clear, but got 75 miles northeast (nearest "big" town in the states) and it's clear as mud 35 miles west and it's nice and clear, McDonald's Observatory is awful but something in the same town is fine? someone really needs help there:%)

Hi,
Well... I went to the site, I've downloaded and installed
the free software, and I've managed to locate our homes...
But, I can't get the resolution that you guys are showing.
All I get when I zoom in, are blurry shots that one can't
make head nor tail out of. I look at the "streaming" and
it says its 100%. I don't find any place to "focus" the
image. Is it the telephone/dialup system or what?

Frank

Houston, you just need to uncheck your address under the SEARCH bar.

Mine is too blured to work it out unless you know all the land marks/roads.

My brother and my dad are obsessed with this program...

I never really grasped on to what was so cool about it.

I'll get my pic up sooner or later.
