This is the first time that I have been able to see my property on one of these websites. CAn't see my house for the trees out front, but, I can see my garage and when I pan around to my neighbor's house, I can even see the lovely boat for sale in the front yard....

They need to fix their addresses, when I type in the address back home (1775), it shows up at the front door of the house 2 doors down (1759).

Even if it were right, all you can see is the driveway. The house is 500 feet off the road with trees in the way.

Oh and the street view isn't a satellite. It's this purple colored van with a revolving camera mounted on top that drove up and down every street taking 360 degree pictures every 20 feet or so. And we sold the car parked out in front of my house 3 years ago. Not trying to rain on any parade, just saying how it is.
