Have you seen the BA advert where a plane taxis through the streets of London? You can now see it pass (very briefly) near your house. If you are lucky it will even show your actual home. Add postcode or address, each gives a different view in my case. My GCs loved this.

You can see any home in the world on Google Earth - I can see the flowers in my daughter's garden in New Zealand.

Ella for one moment, I thought ......'why the dog's address? Don't they live at the same house?'

I've cleaned my specs now grin

Never mind the GC - I love it! I have seen 2 DD's houses, my neighbours round the corner and am about to try my old home in Scotland. Wish I could pause it though!
Brilliant!

Brilliant, shysal and, with just a quick look, the garden looked lovely!

kitty it was probably the way your garden looked a year or two ago! The images are usually quite old on Google Earth street view.

glamma that only applies if you are something like a smartphone or iPad. If you're on a laptop or PC it'll work. smile

Wow yes, it showed very plainly the short road leading down to my cul-de-sac.
