You are rather confortable posting where you live on here...

Anyway, closest I get is in front. I think it was recently updated too (birds-eye view), except street view is still 10 5 years old in my area.

When I punch my address into Google Maps it zeroes right into my house.

I can see my front door :turned:

Not going to show the creepers where I live though :happy:

I'm gonna visit you sometime EF. I want to meet the legend in person.

For my house, from a topdown view you can zoom in enough to see our ghetto plastic tube-based sump pump system leading out to our pond. The old pipes leaked, and because my dad is useless no one's gotten around to bury the new one. The new ones leak too, though, so it wouldn't do much good.

I live in the woods. So I can get to the tree tops. You wouldn't even know there were houses where I live.

Street view car drove only a few meters away from my house so very close indeed

For some reason I don't see the toxic waste dump that I envisioned being next to EpicFail's home :confused:

It's across the street. He played baseball there when he was little.

You mean baserat. There was no ball.

You mean baserat. There was no ball.

The leaking vats were the bases, and they used discarded control rods from reactor meltdowns as bats.

Their parents couldn't afford uniforms, so they just rolled around in brown and glowing green mud. EF was always on the green team.

From top down I can see it, from Street View I can see my doorstep. It's sort of down a narrow backalley though, so you can barely see it.

Hey! That game was fun.

Anyway, street view parks right over my house, and I can look right into my front yard.

At my previous house, the view was centered right on my front porch. I actually used street view to look around the neighborhood from across the nation before I decided to move in. Pretty cool.

I don't even have street view here. At least I think so, but I'm not surprised.

Living in central London means that you can see my house number, which is pretty damned close.

I can get right in front of my house. Google maps must've taken the pictures during fall, so it's mostly just barren woods/crops and gray'ish/cold environments, so it looks pretty ominous. You guys don't have to see that. :hehe:

I removed the link. It's not a good idea to give out personal information like that to strangers on a public internet forum.

Especially on a thread where a mentally unstable poster is secretly tricking you into revealing your addresses on the internet in order to hunt you all down.

Google Street View gets right outside my house although it is an old picture.

Top of the driveway, can see the garage and 1st floor (2nd floor in US) windows but ground floor is hidden by shrubs.

So close I can see the hairs on my ass as I tan in my back yard.

Same. Pretty sure I'm walking just round the corner as well, but my face is blurred out.

» Thu Oct 18, 2012 2:14 am

Can see the yard/house, photos are vastly out of date though.

» Thu Oct 18, 2012 2:21 pm

I don't have a street view. Can only see the top of my house.

» Thu Oct 18, 2012 5:19 am

I can see a birds-eye view of my cat in our garden, lying in the shade of the oak tree.

I can see the house as well, but that's not as cute and it doesn't periodically bring me half a mouse.
