Hey WOW! This is FAB!!!!!

Go to: http://local.live.com/

Type in your address in the 2nd bar at the top and click on Birds Eye View.

Then click on the 'bigger buildings' image to zoom in closer.

You can see your house in spectacular 3D colour (unlike google Earth which only showed a map for UK addresses!)

And if you click on the four compass points (one at a time, lol) you get to see your house from every angle!

Then stick a pin in the map to save it.

I think this is fantastic! Try it! :-6

Very cool :-6

It does'nt have a birds eye view for my address.

"I can see my house from here!" :wah:

Looks like it uses the same photos as google earth though. Still cool though! Good find.

Thanks. On Google Earth I can only see my town and even that can't be clearly seen.

But this site shows me every weed in my garden! :wah:

Awww, I'm sorry it doesn't work for you Abbey hunny!

Hey that is good! This site doesn't let me zoom in that far, or maybe you have a bigger house and garden than me :wah:.

Thanks, princess !! Great view........even saw the birdbath !! :guitarist



How's the folks in Galway, then ? :driving:

Rapunzel, that is seriously *most* excellent! Thanks:)

Glad you liked it, I thought it was fab!

Niamh - haven't a clue, they're not talking to me! :p :wah:

I already know what my house looks like.

Didn't work for me, and I can't say I'm disapponted....seems a bit too "Big Brother" for me. Yup...cynical and paranoid....that's me.

Me again, Rap ........hello



Tried this site on all the family's houses and got only 3 good shots out of 7. and it's nothing to do with the size of the house. It's just not possible to zoom- in on a lot of places.

Being a right nosey parker, I've had fun rummaging in my neighbour's gardens, noting their conservatories, extensions , garden design etc. :-3



Little wonder BR wants to keep hers hidden haha :wah: :driving:
