I'm on Google Earth :-)

just did the old Post Code check on Google Earth / maps.google and found that the old picture (which was very blurred) has been replaced by a pretty high quality picture.

Can see my house and in the back garden, the picnic table and me & my wife and kids are all sat around it.

How cool is that (in a slightly cheesy "look - you can see our house from here..." sort of way)

The pictures around the area where I live have a resolution about 1 Pixel = 50 meter

We got high resolution maps on Google Earth last year in Bergen. All the airphotos were taken by the Bergen County

> Give us an (jpg)image to see

Yeah, give us a link from maps.google.com or something.

Here's mine: http://tinyurl.com/37kwo6

My apartment block is in the center of that image (the brown roof a bit to
the right of the purple roof) and it has a little red roof on its lower-right.
I don't know how to put a pin on it because Google's help doesn't say.

So you live 'down under' the red roof?
Nice!

Sorry, bad description: I meant I live in the block with the brown roof, which
has the building with the red roof next to it. Have a look at my third pic in
this thread, and the red roof is at the bottom-left of that third pic:

Aha! Got it.
It looks a bit like California outside.
(never been in Australia)

* Nice tv-set by the way.

@Edwin
Seems you're just a two hour drive away from my place.

Twee uurtjes rijden naar het zuiden, mits er geen file staat natuurlijk...

Not to pop bubbles... that pic is too fuzzy to see much at close range... however if you looked at:

http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&q ... &z=19&om=1

and looked south about 4 houses on the east side (after 2 houses with a pool...) you can see my white Mercedes 190e in the driveway.

the layout of the frontier is sometimes curious. I live a few tens of kilometers of this place.

France is on the left, Switzerland on the right
