Re: Google Maps Street View
The satellite images of Perth, at least in my area, are over 5 years old - I can tell from my own backyard. I moved here Jan 30 2003 a month or so later enclosed half the backyard for my cats - the satellite photo shows no enclosure, so must be prior to March 2003. Street view of my place is definitely taken sometime after the beginning of 2007, likely summer (either 2007 or 2007/08) from the early morning shadows. Also found there is almost no coverage of the whole Bellarine Peninsula in Victoria, virtually one main road from Geelong to Torquay only. And if you look at the Melbourne suburb of Reservoir, where one of my sons lives, they have covered some roads but not others; ie his house is near a T junction - the other road is covered, but not his. I can see the junction of his road the first 2 houses, but not his house which is the 3rd in the street. Looking at the blue lined street map of the area, quite a few streets have been missed. Also found the satellite photos are not always accurate in pinpointing an address. My other son lives in London, Google Maps marks his place a whole block away from its actual location - I've stayed there 3 times know the various features of the area, so can pick out the actual corner it's on.

Re: Google Maps Street View
SInce google doesn't own the satellites and they obtain the sat and airial images from a third party only when they are published at various intervals, at this point, there should be no expectation that there is any relationship between the dates of the sat/ airial images and those street level images collected collected by google's own bugs. What might be interesting in 50 years time or so when google and NASA etc have amassed sufficient image data, is for google to add a time slider to google maps and streetview, that would provide a co- ordinated (in time) view of the planet and streets so we could begin (the nearest thing to) time travel!!!

Re: Google Maps Street View
Yeah, never had any expectation that there would be any correlation between the street and satellite images. An indication of the dates applicable to the particular images would however be nice shouldn't be too hard. Ie is the satellite image I'm looking at 1 month, 6 month, 1 year, 5 year old?

Seems Google has changed/upgraded its web code. The only work-arounds at the moment are use another Browser such as Firefox for the Maps, or upgrade to Tiger or Leopard. As software code continues to evolve, Safari 1.3.2 is becoming more dated. Instances such as these in Safari 1.3.2 will become more frequent in the year ahead, especially as various sites adopt more advanced code.

Scrolling around the pic, I can see newspaper on our driveway, my neighbour cutting the lawn edges and the top of the camera car. Hi Warren Severin, If you use Google Earth v4.3.7, you can get Street View of an Address. Type in the Address (or if you have addresses in 'My Places'). Go to the Address and then Under Layers - tick 'Street View' and it will take you to the address and then you click a camera. My goodness, my sister who lives in Melbourne was actually home on this day which is unusual I was out at my Address which is unusual ;-) Cheers, Ronni -- The WA Macintosh User Group Mailing List -- Archives - http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/archives.shtml Guidelines - http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/guidelines.shtml Unsubscribe - mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Assoc Professor R Severin Crisp, FIP, CPhys, FAIP 15 Thomas St, Mount Clarence, Albany, 6330, Western Australia.
