| | Subby, the street views are at least 1 and 1/2 years old, at least in my neighborhood. Mine shows our old car in the driveway(and even our trashcan  ), and before we got a new door, which was going on 2 years ago. It also has our address wrong. But I have been enjoying seeing the differences in the way we all live, too.

| | Thanks Penny, I think your pin is actually in the middle of a lake (is that near your place?), I didn't think you were water dwelling (but could be wrong?) so I wasn't getting too specific with addresses, just the general area  You know... the ambiance...
In fact I think this is a good reason to put the pin in the vicinity of, but not right on top of, your address or even street, if you are like me and want to give people an idea of the area where you live (not that mine is very exciting), but don't want cyber terrorists tracking you down and stealing your budgie.

I will look, but the only water close to us is a creek and a couple of ponds.

| | The street view of my house was taken last summer while the little kids and I were in CA. You can actually see a mosaic in the view of my porch, that's Troy on the phone with work.  Also, somewhere on the front lawn is our mini schnauzer, but for some reason they mosaic-ed her out too...
My pin is there, but it's tucked behind Mortis505's. You have to zoom in close to WA to see my pin...but the pin is directly on top of my house.

Do you want me to move the pin to above your house, or do you not want people actually "seeing" your house?

Come visit!
Penny -- it's still funny that you live in a lake!

| | | Jan, what a lovely sunny picture you got! (suites the street name) Mine and a few others, the weather is so drab and miserable. I can't see a pool. Do you have a red ute out the front? Or is that you on the other side of the road, looking like a statue on the lawn? Intriguing!

Did you zoom all the way in (satellite view)? I don't know what a red ute would be! When I zoom in to your place, I notice you really live inside a race track!

| | Aha, the red ute (utility van, pick up truck?) might be your neighbours.... Jan what I was looking at was "street view" pull that little icon of a man on the map, over your street and you'll see what I mean The streetview can be very out of date as Penny was saying. Around my place at least a year old.
As for my place, I think my pin is on the athletics field down the road.

Thank you Subby, WOW!!! Too cool! That's our "ute" in the driveway and our garage door is open -- my neighbor directly across the street is right out in front of his house! And my address number is NOT what it says . . . in case anybody wanted to send me some money or something . . .

| | | Such a sunny tidy place... Looks like people had been doing burnouts down your street from the look of it? You need speedbumps perhaps... pesky as they are.

| | | Thanks to mortis505 for planting my pin for me. My immediate neighborhood doesn't show up yet, so I am shown somewhere in the middle of town.
