My hometown, though not my house.

And yes, that location is between a science museum and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

Shafri, I'm glad to see you falling in love with google earth just as I have! It's great fun. 

I wanted to mention Celestia. If you've ever been curious about astronomy it's like google universe! You can add map data for the local planets (they start out fairly simple for the sake of speed) and zoom around between stars.

Google earth does something similar, but it's more simple, it just flips you over and points you outward. I think they might have a lunar explorer too, but it's nothing like Celestia.

Hope you like it.

Yeah, the IP locator is kinda wrong. I think that Shafri's map will be better! 

[Mechatrommer]

yup, with condition that you search your location manually on earth and post it here

Thanx! now i got one famous person on the map . Hmmmmmm, i wonder where the EEVBlog admin located. Tried to figure out the tunnel he usually went into during drivetime rant, but goggling turned out 8 (road) tunnels in Sydney IIRC, none seem familiar. I think i was playing FBI job for a while

the drawback of the software is that the map is like 1-2 years outdated. My currently completed new home is still a flat land when watched from this software. If i point exactly to my new home location, everybody will think i'm a homeless

My home town 42.787, -86.108

Don't worry. A bulldozer will arrive shortly to make your house conform to Google's reality again.

Apparently, someone did 3D models of some of the buildings of the city I live in. It's pretty cool

[Mechatrommer]

thanx artemis. yup it got 3d building feature. but i'm not sure how to register our model into google dbase. not just that, it also got road, border and label, weather etc.

Thanx. interesting city! with complicated of closed network of seas (or lakes?). I dont think there is a way/path to the open sea isnt it jahonen. I wonder hows the "water" looks like over there.

Finland is often called as "country of thousands of lakes", you can see from satellite images what it means. There isn't a natural pathway to open sea, like to Gulf of Finland, but I believe there is a man-made channel available.

check google's streetview, there are plenty of coast roads with very nice views of the lakes
