Earwig 89 Posted July 6, 2006 Report Share Posted July 6, 2006 I don't think it is in real time. I think the pics are weeks/months old.Not usre how woften it is updated or if they are still working on other things.Fantastic stuff though, still can't see my house from it yet though although buckingham palace and around there is cool !mMark.

Russ_vr6 12 Posted July 6, 2006 Report Share Posted July 6, 2006 it all depends on satalite persition,i was sad and looked into it lol Link to post Share on other sites
dellert 0 Posted July 6, 2006 Report Share Posted July 6, 2006 I found my old van on it!! Youre right it is not real time, as some local houses are missing, and they were built around 3 years ago!! It is great though, so long as you live in a city and not in the sticks, as the detail is not as good. Link to post Share on other sites
goonersteve 0 Posted July 6, 2006 Report Share Posted July 6, 2006 Yeah 'Google Earth' is a superb idea. My house is on there. I also found my old house, including the car-park out the back where we used to play footy, jumpers for goalposts 'n all that! Link to post Share on other sites
squirreleater 0 Posted July 6, 2006 Report Share Posted July 6, 2006 I could see our old house with my wifes mini estate outside and my fiesta xr2i on the road- i was at work on the bike. Link to post Share on other sites
vr6matt 0 Posted July 7, 2006 Report Share Posted July 7, 2006 I cant see my car! But it is an awesome idea. There was talk of it being made as live streamed images in 5 years time. My mate had a look and it had is old mondeo on his driveway, and he sold it two years ago! lol Link to post Share on other sites

spanky 0 Posted July 7, 2006 Report Share Posted July 7, 2006 I'd not seen this thread until today (friday 7th) but last night I was showing my dad my first mk2 GTI that is parked outside my old house on Google Earth. Spooky!!! Link to post Share on other sites
