col_forbin Posted July 7, 2005 Posted July 7, 2005 Not sure if any of you have seen this yet. I did a search couldn't see where it had been talked about. Good stuff. Link
PhilsBills Posted July 7, 2005 Posted July 7, 2005 That was really cool until I got bumped off the server. Anyone else having troubles with it? of course it happened when I was zooming in to Buffalo in hopes of checking out the stadium......
BRH Posted July 7, 2005 Posted July 7, 2005 Nope, it hasn't bumped me off yet. It's an old (pre-new turf) pic of the Ralph. Pretty cool though. If you go up to the Falls you can see the Maid of the Mist right in front of the Horseshoe Falls. I can see the basketball net in my backyard. Pretty cool... but also kind of creepy. I can also see Jay and Rockpile walking into Nick's!

I actually do GIS/remote sensing work for a living so it amazes me that this is all free.....

I'm having fun finding stadiums and airports around the country freehand (without looking them up). If you go to Hartsfield Airport in Atlanta and head for the international terminal you can see a big 747 taxiing and almost make out the name on the fuselage. Amazing.
Guffalo Posted July 7, 2005 Posted July 7, 2005 Some of these images are old, or at least taken a few years ago, but still cool as hell!
BRH Posted July 7, 2005 Posted July 7, 2005 Some of these images are old, or at least taken a few years ago, but still cool as hell! 376639[/snapback] True. Comerica Park isn't up in Detroit yet, for example, but that means Tiger Stadium still is. Go take a look there.
BRH Posted July 7, 2005 Posted July 7, 2005 The mailman has been at my house for 45 mins WTF 376753[/snapback] Is that your wife's car in the driveway?

CBusBillsFan Posted July 7, 2005 Posted July 7, 2005 Comerica Park is up in Detroit...it's right down the road from Tiger Stadium.
Richmond_Bills Posted July 7, 2005 Posted July 7, 2005 I wonder if I am doing something wrong. some images are completely clear (my old house in Rochester) and some are not even close (my current house in Richmond)...is it something I am doing or just a limitation of the program.

Seasontixfromcleve Posted July 7, 2005 Posted July 7, 2005 True. Comerica Park isn't up in Detroit yet, for example, but that means Tiger Stadium still is. Go take a look there. 376645[/snapback] Isnt tiger stadium still up anyway??
CBusBillsFan Posted July 7, 2005 Posted July 7, 2005 Yes, Tiger Stadium is still standing. If you look on the image you can see both Tiger Stadium AND Comerica Park. Tiger Stadium was used as Yankee Stadium in the movie 61*. They were going to tear it down afterwords but never did.
stevestojan Posted July 7, 2005 Posted July 7, 2005 This is just a repackaged version of Google's KeyholeLT. Cool? Yes. But nothing new. Ive had keyhole for 6 months or so. Also, its the same images that can be found by going to maps.google.com and clicking on "sattelite" for the view.

I assume the move with the dog went as well as can be expected. How's things going after the move, all in all? Settling in OK?

Settling in OK? 376982[/snapback] Things are great. Once I moved home, I moved in with the parents (first time since I've been 18 and went to college). Not too bad, but I'm 25 and need to be out. The job at Geico is perfect for me, and I just found an apartment just off of Elmwood which I will be moving into on July 15th. Thanks for asking
TigerJ Posted July 8, 2005 Posted July 8, 2005 I found where my house should be, but it's all blurry at the magnification I'd need to see any kind of detail.
