    Default can you see your house on google earth?

    I can and I'm feeling a bit paranoid.  I also tried to find my old house, my friends' houses , my sister's etc.  The only house I can clearly make out is mine.  DH and I can even clearly see a car in our backyard, our shed, the creek.  Hmmmmmmmm.

    Can anyone else see their own home?

    Missy, I checked up about the photos on the google earth home page. They say all the photos have been taken during the past 3 years and are constantly being upgraded and changed.

    I think it would be a great way to teach your kids about the world out there. I liked going to NYC, checking "buildings" and then tilting the map to see the building heights. Small things ...

    Yep, but I swear mine is older than that...maybe I'm mistaken.

    not a good shot of ours. Very very blurry but you can see some details around it (mostly pastures and the interstate)

    I also looked up the address of Joes resturant and although it isn't to clear you can certainly make out the mall right across the street.

    That is a neat site, Rhonda. I had so much fun looking at my hometown. I also found the cemetery that most of my family is buried in.
