Quiet, you.

I would have linked Ilkley but the satellite imaging isn't as good there ... anyway, you're always saying things like "It's your house too". ;)

[kingandy]

That's the same map - the address bar doesn't change because it's all activeX driven. What you need to do is copy the link from "link to this page".

You live/from south shields then by any chance?! (I grew up in Durham;)

But it's not half as cool as this: http://earth.google.com/

It requires downloading, but being able to zoom around in 3D just adds a little something extra to the experience (try going to New York and turning on the 3D buildings!)

Heh, I like the FAQ. "Are Google Earth images captured in real time?" ... It would be nice to have a global satellite system constantly monitoring the Earth's surface so any geek with a net connection could spy on their friends, but really.

Poo, Todmorden is a big collection of smudges in the middle of a green splat. I assume my house is one of the smudges.
