Well, not too long ago they came up with Google Earth, which was soon used by lots of TV shows, news, etc etc. The thing was innovative.

Today, I realized something crazy!

go to maps.google.com and enter your home address.
http://maps.google.com/

Does not work? Maybe your area is not covered yet, but try for example "los angeles convention center". This feature was there before, but it was very limited.

Also note, in some areas the camera goes full degree of rotation, you can see all the way up, down, etc etc, whatever.

When I entered my home address, my car was there parked, lol......you gotta be kidding!!!

EDIT: An article on the matter

Is this about street view? I'm confused.

Google Maps does indeed rock. I need to get the GPS on my phone set up, so I can use the windows mobile Google Maps application to its fullest.

Yeah yeah, sorry.

But I think today they truly expanded it. Before it was like just big areas as far as I'm concerned. And anyways, all integrated into Google Earth.

This feature has been there since last year.

I used it to look up and down my block.

Oh they improved the speed of it.

I prefer http://maps.live.com from Microsoft tbh.. much clearer photo's.. (use birdseye view).. And the cool thing is, you can view locations from 4 directions..

This is a picture of the appartmentbuilding where I live: http://home.xmsnet.nl/bigbear/124_kaart.JPG (my car is parked in front, the red one with the black top in the middle of the picture).. Funny thing is, it's there on the North, South and East photo's, but it's gone on the West one.. :P

Fiat Spider, very nice. Pininfarina model? Very good looking car anyway.
I won't ask about the reliability of it though :/

Yes, it's a Pininfarina design, Fiat 124 Sport Spider.. Has only broken down on my once (broken fuel-pump) in the 14 years I have it now.. Good maintenance prevents a lot of trouble..

Well I think it looks pathetic to be honest........

Nah, I'm joking. Is that the original paint? It looks like it, but then I doubt parking where you are wouldn't just burn the paint in 14 years. So new paint?

The car itself is actually almost 30 years old now (the model itself is from 1966, so over 40 years old).. And it's not the original paintjob, I got it repainted about 12 years ago.. In the same original colour again..

Before: http://home.xmsnet.nl/bigbear/voor.jpg
Paint: http://home.xmsnet.nl/bigbear/spuiten.jpg
After: http://home.xmsnet.nl/bigbear/Spider/DSC00002.JPG

It's a import from Texas USA, and I got rid of the US plastic bumpers and put original Euro early 70's chrome bumpers and taillights on there.. Look much nicer imho..
See: http://home.xmsnet.nl/bigbear/laswerk.jpg

This is one still in original US trim: http://fotos.marktplaats.nl/kopen/8/65/72+XRgCpDmt...
