Show me where you live

Tuesday March 15, 2005

I haven’t been to the Multimap website in ages but things they have been changin’.

For the UK at least (haven’t checked the others) I see you can now view an aerial photo of the location, how bloody cool is that!

Anway here is my location, hit Aerial view to see the field I live in (If you zoom right in I think I am having a fag by the back door!).

Now it’s your turn, add your multimap link to the comments so I can see where you live.

    Sadly, no aerial, and the circle is not where I live. I live in the corner (top right) between the Stationsstraat and the Tielsestraat, and at the Tielsestraat itself.

    My House

    The circle isn’t pointing quite at my house, if you move your mouse over the area when zoomed in at maximum zoomage, its just above the ‘V’ of ‘View’ (L-shaped garden at the front.)

    My place is two building to the right of the circle.

    I could see the sea if the landlord would let me attack the enormous hedge in front of my lounge! Bastard.

    Lets try that again, and include the link this time…

    Bournemouth UK

    My place is two building to the right of the circle.

    I could see the sea if only the landlord would let me attack the enormous hedge in front of my lounge! Bastard.

    Hi Darren, quick question, How long a drive would it be from Auckland to the Bay of Islands?

    You might also like to know that if you supply your lat and log in the head, multimap will plot you on its map of local weblogs.

    Heres me: http://www.multimap.com/map/browse.cgi?scale=500000&kw=Weblogs&local=blog&localinfosel=true&icon=X&lat=52.7191&lon=-2.0041

    @John: If you’ve been to Holyhead or Manchester or Liverpool you definitely have ;o)

    Just had a look via my link and the red circle is way off. I live towards the bottom of the ariel view, rather than the top.

    Can’t quite join in the fun, because most of Scotland (including the important bit, Edinburgh) isn’t covered yet. Neither is home number 2, because it’s in Sweden.

    But hey, look at that! Steve, I couldn’t tell you how many times I’ve driven along Fulford Road – I have family in York, and I’m a regular visitor.

    Nothing compared to your field John. I wanna live in a field!

    Multimap rocks!

    i live in tiny singapore .

    there are hardly any details on the map and it might look like i stay in a big sprawling field… but i don’t. there are hardly any big sprawling fields here.

    Calcutta, India

    It’s probably the worst zooms I’ve seen, but I see the name of the city! And by the way, the whole area shown there falls under Calcutta.

    Found another
    Though not MultiMap, and only central & South Ca;cutta. But look to the Southern part, and you’ll notice Garia, which is where I live. :))

    I’m in York

    And my red circle’s accurate to about 30ft.

    I am currently living in:

    East Rochester, NY, USA

    Even though according to Multimap, it appears as if I live in a grey area which now that I think of it kind of makes sense.

  33. Niko

    Wow, you can even feed the thing your house number for added eXtreme! accuracy! The circle is about 5m. from where I actually live (it now points at the parking lot).

    No aerial, though.

    And yes, no aerial too…

    However, you can have a look yourself with our county GIS w/ orthophoto layer

Christmas gifts?
