*GOOGLE EARTH*
 

Guys Ive got a fun idea. You've probably heard about Google Earth. You can download it here http://earth.google.com/download-earth.html

Install it and load it up. Type in Guildford (United kingdom) into the search bar....thats where I live!!!! Zoom in on me!!!

Where do you guys live? Would be fun to see where in the world your from.

should be able to download and open the above file in google earth and it will show you my house :)

Guilford?! I spent one month there to study English there in 1998! Quite a nice city!
I live in Gorizia, Italy... not to much zoom with google though.

Is Google earth still a PC only thing?

This is the closest Google Earth can go to where i live :lol:

no it's available to us mac user too!

Great idea DS,

Here is my wee village near Leeds, UK.

You can see Leeds Bradford airport to the East and the (now closed) largest mental institute in the UK, High Royds, just a few 100 yards to the South.

Awesome! I'll check it out...

:)

You can see my street if you type my postcode B632DW into the fly to area.

Drammy you live fairly near to my relatives in Rishworth.

Dave.

Great, now all we need it your studio kit list and a crow bar :)

Rishworth - wow - thats out in the sticks!

I've just set up a map for us all. Stick yourselves on here!:

(run by google earth)

You don't need to put the place marker on your house. - I've put mine on the name of my village instead, for instance.

Coool :D

sitting in a wardrobe at the moment is a DIGI002, Korg Trinity plus, novation a-station, mb-33, warp 9 filter and an alesis deq 230, oh and there are some alesis effects units in the bag in the wardrobe. You wouldn't believe how unhappy it makes me that these are in the wardrobe :(

also, to make your life really easy there is a pair of Alesis Monitor 2 speakers in the garage. The RA-300 amp is in the living room and I use that so please leave it alone :) The reast I can at least claim insurance on.

I've zoomed out a bit so we can see everybody, and also switched to a hybrid map + satellite view. :) For the bandwidth conscious (ie. 56k dialup), pick the "Map" button in the display window, and you'll be able to see the place names and road networks instead.

Ive not looked at your map postings, but I guess by now there is a good list of precisely which houses in various regions are worth doing over?

I was going to post mine until this dark thought occured to me...

[Edit - I see grs allready noticed this as well - LOL]

Oh yeh - I actually found my car on google earth :)

no shit, sherlock!

I stuck my marker on the name tag of my village/town.

yeah, i'd worry about this, except I doubt that a random chch person who would be dishonest enough to do that would be reading this board.

Countdown to me posting a thread complaining about some cunt stealing all my gear from my wardrobe in 3...

Well, I just downloaded Google Earth for mac....pretty damn cool! Im still a n00b so I dont know how to save those .kzm files or whatever. Here's a pic of the neighbourhood:

Collaroy, Sydney, NSW (Northern Beaches, around 35min drive to city)

This was the first time I've tried it as well. Really cool thing!

My town here in Japan doesn't have the higer rez images though! :cry:
But the nearest big city does.

Jase,
Looks like there are sopme killer surf breaks around your nmeck of the woods. Would love to come out and visit!!! :) :D

Indeed! Some of the best surfing beaches in Sydney all within 10 minutes of where I live...

I dont surf though, too much of a chicken shit. I used to be a strong swimmer, but these days Im really unfit. I would get hammered out there! Strong rips sometimes too...

You'd be more than welcome to chill at my place if you ever did make it to these parts...
