Go check out http://local.live.com and look up the address where you park your E the most... in the map view click the "Bird's Eye View" icon and see if your car shows up!

So now I'm wondering... is this the first aerial shot of an E being shown here on the EOC??

nowhere near enough detail for where I live. I can barely zoom in, the images don't exist.

That's the first "overhead" shot that I have seen. You may well have the first EOC satellite photo of an E. Congratulations!

Heck, when I checked my area out, no detail either, not even color! I assume I'm so far back in the sticks that the color doesn't even get out here... :-o

How often are these stallite pictures updated? Cause in the pic that I am looking at right now, there is a white truck parked in front of my house, which seems odd. I did find me E parked at the subway station near my house though!

Aww..I can't get closer than 100 yards...too far for details. I can see my house and cars parked in front of it though.

I could'nt zoom in that much .... and I think the picture they have is dated...its showing a little silver compact in my driveway (owned a 2001 Toyota Echo until March this year)

Pretty cool but deffinately dated pic. It shows my neighbors yard with a pool that was filled in during the summer. But cool anyway, thanks for the link. Drew

There's limited detail for my little 'burb. Here's my house. The big dark part is the Mississippi River.

You in the printing business? Thats a Pressmens ruler that you used. Spent many a day with that device.

Good eye, Storm. Yep, I spent years using pica poles, reduction wheels, X-Acto Knives and wax. Also had years when my hands were never completely clean--pesky litho ink really works itself into the skin.

I couldn't figure out how to get that local.live.com thing to work.
