Can you find your house?


Recommended Posts

can't, im Canadian and not american

There is http://terraserver.com (not affiliated with terraserver.microsoft.com)

They only go to 8 meter resolution (which sucks), unless you become a member (not sure if there are costs).

Represent!

That's one insanely detailed photo for this sort of thing. Nothing like the "quality" of mine :blush: Heh, look at the size of our house. It's the largest red-rooved thing for miles :happy: :cool:

it took me about a half hour to find my house, but i found a nearby lake.. april 5th 2002, im guessing around 2:00pm because busses are at the side of the school.

- my house (lighted area is our property)

-my school (dark area is my school's property) .. around 2400 students i think .. classes had to be scheduled in the computer labs some hours due to overpopulation

hey, can any of you help me find the location of Rice University?

i don't seem it find it  :pinch:

Plugging in the address they list on thier website into terraserver.microsoft.com comes up with

http://terraserver.microsoft.com/addressim...ton%2c+TX+77005

Is it close?

[EDIT: Looking at Rice's campus map, I was able to see that it is just west of where terraserver put the red pin. http://terraserver.microsoft.com/addressim...ton%2c+TX+77005 ]

You think thats clear? Look at mines, you can see the bushes I got.

But we Recently extended out house out back by like 20 feet. And added a shed. The image is like 2 years old so it doesn't have it but I added the red box where its supposed to be.

I'm trying to find the whitehouse in dc on this, but i cant find it  :wacko:

http://terraserver.microsoft.com/image.asp...=43010&z=18&w=1

Look for the White House here:

http://terraserver.microsoft.com/image.asp...=86147&z=18&w=2

BTW, does it look to anyone else that the image of the roof is altered so no one can see what kinds of defenses/weakness there might be on that roof?

[EDIT: Beat to the punch, as I was typing in all the extra stuff to go with the link :pinch: ]

[EDIT #2: Odd, but the buildings immediately to the east & west are highly pixellated. More alterations? :ninja: ]

Yea, the buildings to the left and right have been altered, what are they? And I would assume the White House has to, I thought there was some missile defense thing on the roof.

It's been a while since I have been to DC, but I think one is the Treasury?

actually.. it looks like someone completely drew over them with a rectangle tool and then blurred some stuff in the middle.. look closely at the edges.. the roof isnt really brown
