I've been marking up the google earth map of our property..might look up some of my friends places too

It's great for mapping out fences etc, we bought our home sight unseen from Germany a year and a half ago, wouldn't have done it without it!

Thanks to google earth, we found a run-in shed way in the back on an overgrown property we recently bought. Couldn't zoom in well enough to really see it, but it looked too square and light colored to be a natural feature. Sure enough, a bonus outbuilding.

Their images are out of date, though. We looked up our place and it didn't show the barn, which has been up for 3 or 4 years.

Thanks for the link...had fun...those pics are old, several years in fact, but was fun looking at what trucks we had, the old camper, lots of fun to see who was visiting at the neighbors by the cars in the pics....

Our place is only a year old on it. I used it a lot when planning out our fencing. I love it!

Thanks for the link. The image of our place looks to be from last August, from the garden (or lack thereof).

I redid my maps and put labels on them..also got some good looks at the neighbors (boy the ones to the east sure have a lot of garbage in their back yard !!

Do you have an updated map of your place? everything I see is a few years old and I know there are new buildings around but not on there yet.

This is the latest one I can find on the internet,

Same thing, my buddy's garage is 2 years old now and not in the pic.

Ps
I take it thats a motocross course on the neighbors south of you ?

[hippygirl]

Mine is from the fall of 2010...it caught me burning debris from clearing my garden area.

[ronbre]

it is actually a r c car course..turns are too tight for motocross..but he could widen a few turns and make it motocross someday..which he might.

few years back looked at google earth and found where i was cutting hay on the farm, could see the swaths leading too the tractor cutting the field but not the tractor!!
