Satellite Image of your House/City

Satellite image sites have been around for a while, but google has started doing this now and it blows all the other sites away.

http://maps.google.com

Go there and locate an address or area you want to see... then zoom in and on the top right, click the Satellite link. Full vivid color and really good detail.

I thought it was kinda cool.

That paper with directions to your house for prom was sitting in front of me on the desk when someone messaged me that website, so when I was testing it out, I used your address and was thinking about that.. counting the houses from the front of the neighborhood for the purpose of the directions.
I swear to god kid. Stay away from me.

For people who don't know us in real life... this kind of stuff happens all the time. Kinda freaky.

Resize your browser so just the map shows, then hold down alt and tap the Print Screen button.

Then go into Paint and go edit->paste.

Save the image, and go to the ub.c file manager to upload it and share.
