Where were you when your Google Earth satellite photo was taken?
« on: September 27, 2008, 07:10:03 PM »
I’ve never been able to find myself.  I can fairly presume that I was wherever my car was at the time, which wasn’t at home or work or the lake that I often visit.  It was taken in the fall or maybe the spring because there are no leaves on the trees.   The shadows suggest about 5:00 P.M., so I could have been on my way home from work, or maybe it was a weekend.  The photos in my area, and most areas, are really old now; I wish they’d update them.

You can copy the Lat. Long. Numbers from the bottom of the Google Earth screen in this simple format:

41 07 15.45 N 81 23 59.72 W

Then anyone can paste it into the search/ Fly to box.  (That’s my house, by the way)

I’ve had a few students actually find themselves in their yards; pretty cool if you ask me.

  For most people the sky is the limit.  For a pilot the sky is home.

The google maps street view of our house in CA has my son's car and his girlfriend's car in the driveway. Our cars are nowhere to be seen. I'd love to know when that pic was taken.
