Yeah, I've played around with it. Last time I did was about a year ago, and they still have the same shot of my neighborhood that's at least seven years old. I can tell because my neighbor's red van is parked in their driveway and they got rid of that thing about six or seven years ago.

Still, it's kinda fun, I gotta admit.

EDIT: I take it all back. I just d/l'd the latest version and they've updated the pics of my neighborhood. Fairly recent. You can't even see my house for the trees. That's a good thing when you think about summer heat in Houston.

Best,

xs1961; Just zoomed in on Wing Buckinghamshire UK.................looks like a nice quiet town,and lots of green countryside. Thought I could find your house by looking for single black burnout marks on driveway but it doesn't seem to have that resolution Smile
