Rick Posted May 28, 2007 Report Posted May 28, 2007 if everyone downloads google earth: we could start posting coordinates to osf's for sale/abondoned, meet locations, etc...??? what you think download google earth and have a play its excellent you can zoom in and even tell what the cars are, iv already looked up a few i know, although colors arent always accurate
flyingbanana Posted May 28, 2007 Report Posted May 28, 2007 i looked of Google earth before and i could quite easy see my car on it....stood out like a sore thumb
Twinkle Posted May 28, 2007 Report Posted May 28, 2007 not sure if thats a good idea to be giving out coordinates of peoples osf's on a public forum, makes life easy for the theives
Rick Posted May 28, 2007 Author Report Posted May 28, 2007 not sure if thats a good idea to be giving out coordinates of peoples osf's on a public forum, makes life easy for the theives i see your point but as for shows meets etc it would work
ZetecVan 2.0 Posted May 28, 2007 Report Posted May 28, 2007 I'll have a look and see if there's anything I can do it integrate it into the forum. You can't see my OSF, but outside my mum and dads you can see the oil slick my anglia saloon left...
Rick Posted May 28, 2007 Author Report Posted May 28, 2007 i wonder if theres a condensed version just for countries
fergus mk2 Posted May 28, 2007 Report Posted May 28, 2007 i cant c any thing how do u zoom in enough to c anything its just a green blur an how do u find ur co-ordinates
Paul F Posted May 28, 2007 Report Posted May 28, 2007 google earth is awesome... I used to have shared ownership of a band tourbus and it was visable at 3 different houses on google earth...!
ZetecVan 2.0 Posted May 28, 2007 Report Posted May 28, 2007 i cant c any thing how do u zoom in enough to c anything its just a green blur an how do u find ur co-ordinates Some areas of the country don't have a high enough resolution so you can't see your house clearly. This happened with me when I first installed it, but a couple of months later when I checked it was clear. The pictures are a few years old as on the pics they had just laid the foundations of an industrial estate near us, but the estate has been fully operational for three or four years.
arch Posted May 28, 2007 Report Posted May 28, 2007 it is a while ago because outside my house ive still got my mini lol an were i bout the escort from is no were to be seen lol
Burns Posted May 29, 2007 Report Posted May 29, 2007 yeah, my house in leeds has great resolution but in nottingham it's all just a blur, they're constantly updating it. might be cool for meets, although multimap doesn't require any downloads and it's pretty easy to use
