[MLUG - DISCUSSION] google maps satellite imagery...

[Jonathan King <EMAIL:PROTECTED>]

OK, so now something really useful.

1) Type "Mike Miller Minneapolis, MN" into google.
2) Click on the Google Maps version of one of the two possible
addresses (the correct one if you know it...)
3) Switch to satellite imagery on that page.
4) Zoom in.
5) Send reminder email to Mike to rake the leaves off his lawn. :-)
(Yes, that's a joke, people.)

Seriously, this is pretty interesting and quite seemlessly integrated.
 And bookmarkable.  Is this really you, Mike?

Just to be fair about it, this is me:

They don't have that high-res over flyover country.  Here's the house
I grew up in:

Or, not exactly.  My house is two down the street to the right, on the
other side of the gun club.  (The thing that looks like a shooting
range in the bottom right corner is in fact just that.)

Some people could, I guess, get upset about this...
