This is fascinating. Love it. Could spend all day checking this out.

Looks like a Tuesday morning in the neighborhood my office is in (residential area). The trash is out waiting to be picked up, and kids across the street are going to school.

Looking at my house... this must be last fall. My front step is still intact

If you click on the parcel number you can see a photo of the house and a floor plan (I wonder if Mr. Buffett is a handball expert, since he has his own court).

I can't imagine that Douglas County, NE is the only place that they've put together a system like this. Is that too invasive, or is this just public information that should be available to everyone? The one difference is that we were always instructed not to have people in the photographs, and with Google's method there's no real way to do this.

I noticed they just came up with GR and Lansing and then I discovered MSN live maps..... try it...... in the birds eye view which also covers pretty much everywhere that google does not including the lakeshore.

They even got parts of the burbs...nice.

Found a silhouette of the Google car's shadow.
