    That's Wallyworld...like speed cameras, I know they are there. I just don't want their F#@$ing sattelites aimed at my house. Isn't there some Moojie in Pakistan it needs to be pointed at? Think I'm going to paint a special message on my shingles...more a hand signal really.

    My house must be too "rural" for their handy camera work. No images available there. Would't matter though since the driveway would be empty and the VX in the garage.

    Looked up my work and managed to find my WRX though.

    When I am bored at work, I will punch in random addresses and see what pops up. Passes the time. :bgwg:

    Can't figure how to capture a screen shot...

    I wonder how often these maps and such are updated. My development is just dirt in these photos...

    Dub, just make sure the Google Map is your active window and hit the "Print Screen" button on your keyboard. Then go into whatever program you are using and click "Edit" from the top menu and then "Paste", or just hit Ctrl+v.

    Not even close! This topic came up on the Rennlist forums earlier this year when a guy freaked out that his Porsche was caught on the Goog's street view camera in front of his house. His objection was that now any crook knows where to find his car, and will naturally assume there are things worth stealing in his house.

    My VX shows up in some of the bird's-eye view photos of my house, as well.

    The Goog is still mostly benign, and would likely take down the photo or edit it if you did not want the picture available on the web.

    I've also heard a few stories of guys getting busted because of their picture in front of a nudie bar, but who knows if there's any truth to that.

    Thanks Bart,
    I'll give that a whirl if I can "possibly manage the time" this weekend.
    I may be "the finder of lost threads" (Mr. Google to those in the know), but I'm FAR from knowing the myriad of tricks that are possible on one of these new fangled computat'n devices...
    It wasn't all THAT long ago (about the time I started posting links), that I figured out "cut/copy/paste".
    It's just sad I tell ya...

    Cool,

    You can easily spot the Proton in mine:

    It was interesting tho, the first pic was taken in the summer and you couldn't see anything because of the trees. When I rotated it tho, it was a winter pic. The yellow behind the VX is the SeaDoos.

    Put a smiley after you say that Bub.

    Does anyone remember the Google Map where we all stuck pushpins where we live? Well, that now has StreetView integrated. I was able to find someone's VX in their driveway in Utah.

    You can see my Subaru, but the VX is hiding in the garage.

    This link might work.

    Besides... Google Maps works in my browser, whereas Microsoft's just don't.
