About the new map
 
You guys can zoom all the way in and place the marker on your house like I did. I'm pretty sure you don't live on a golf course or on the sandy beach right? :rolleyes:

BTW, the images they use are very old. I see a tree in my front yard that was cut down over two years ago!

New map of what?
Google Maps
MapQuest
Yahoo Maps
Microsoft Terra Server?
US GIS servers?
NOAA maps?

I couldn't even zoom that close for mine. Living in a 1-horse town does afford some anonymity, I guess. Best thing I can say is... I live over yonder. :)

Grin,
Mike

Joe, we have a Google map now showing the members on the map if you enter yourself. Look for Mediahounds anouncment at the top of the main page about the map.

Thanks Momoese!

Could not zoom close enough via satellite mode, so switched over to street map mode and marked where my bananas are supposed to be.

I had to do the same as JoeReal. I had to switch to the othre mode but I found my neighborhood, so I am on the map now.

Don't fret. Now that the "Them" know where you are, they'll certainly get a really high rez spy-sat image of your casa. Smile for the camera! Hey - nice nanners! :)

Grin,

That is pretty cool. I mapped my location too, right into the backyard! The picture is many years old, though. There are a few trees standing in the picture that have been dead now for many years, and my neighbor's fence is still complete (it is rotten and half of it is gone now!). A couple of the neighbors' pools in the picture are gone now also. Ok, so now I've posted pictures of my yard online, given a detailed map of how to get here...guess I need a surveillance system now to keep internet predators from stealing my bananas! :confused:

I was messing with it. Got excited how close you can zoom in, but kept getting message I wasn't entering enough info. Was gonna get husband to help, but he doesn't want me to post where I live. Men... bah!

momoese 08-29-2006 06:41 PM

Re: About the new map
 
That's understandable in this day and age. I just figure if someone really wants to find me they can and will, but they might not like what I have waiting for them! :ha:

This will be cool to see how many states we cover!

banana_fun 08-29-2006 09:29 PM

Re: About the new map
 
Not only states covered, but countries too!

mikevan 08-29-2006 09:39 PM

Re: About the new map
 
That's right - if someone is hard up enough to drive all the way out here, I'll either banana-slap him or offer him some coffee and a nanner-pup... :)

Yep, Mike.. if he doesn't show up when you're not home... leaving you without so much as a nanner pup left. :)

Soooo.. who's closest to me with the best stuff, and when do ya'll go on vacation??? *Zooming in on the map* Lemme see.. there's Zac, not too far off, and of course our resident teenager Taylor, but I don't want my own stuff back. *lol*

Yeah I have to admit I love messing around on google Earth, but I know that was most likely a spy satellite originally. I sure would like to get my hands on their version. I bet you could see a ton of plants and things.

Carolina- If you really want a Musa basjoo, come here. All other plants I would notice if they came up missing.

Re: About the new map
 
What I suggest is using a nearby landmark, tower, park, bridge, etc.
Carolina, ask him if that would be ok! :p

That's is why I chose the Beach. My mom did'nt want everyone to know where I live. That is my reason....

Re: About the new map
 
This is cool. Wonder when they will update. My neighborhood has totally been redone and the past two years and it still shows all the old stuff.

I've joined the Map Group:banana_ve , I'm next door to banana_fun, well sort of.

BTW, banana_fun living next to the Scarborough Bluffs must be very nice and is that a pool in your backyard?

This map thing is very cool.:scroll: and so are these Smilies
