Hi Annie, I've been doing this for years and always have a look at the places our Cuties live in (that's of course if I have their addresses). Some of them we can look at from above, but when it comes to going to street view it doesn't do it. It's an amazing piece of technology. I love Google Earth. Love Chris
If you pull the little man down to street level then it should show you the actual houses that is if the google car has gone along the road
Well tell us how Annie i am clueless on this beast but am a willing learner***hugs Carolyn
p.s. try flying my way you will freeze lol
download Google earth. put in the postcode or area that you want to visit you can even put in the street/ road name and area hit search and you will be taken to the place and allowed to land you can even bring the little man down to street level and drive along the roads if the Google car has been along them, stop and turn to look at the shops and houses and even see some folk walking along.
put in Shell island UK and take a look at where i love to spend time . you can't drive onto the island but you can over fly it
the other thing you can use it for is finding out how far it is to a destination and how long it will take you plus get directions
I use it to plan my ta ta trips so i can see how much petrol i will need and how long it will take me and even what i may see on route
Next year I want to go to the Isle of Sky and I know i will have to save a lot of money just to drive there but it will be worth it if i can make it
I also love to read and look up the places the author is traveling along
