Google Maps beta

by alec on April 6, 2005

Randy provides a link to Google Maps beta with satellite images.  It’s very cool.  You can see all kinds of things in the photos.  For instance, if you zoom in this link to my neighbourhood, you can compare all the neighbour’s swimming pools.  Ours is the kidney shaped one in the middle of the photo. Unfortunately, Google Maps isn’t all that accurate.  It places our house in the middle of the park.
