I see Google maps have improved coverage here!

I checked them out today, and I see that there is a full street map as well
as new satellite pictures and hybrids, so you get a very good, improved view
of many parts of Warsaw.

Check it out - this link starts over my home:

      "Wrota Małopolski" has an excellent map service as well. It gives you the
      choice to view either a detailed topographical or ariel photographic image of
      any point in the Małopolska area. On my property, the actual ariel photo that
      exists shows the old wooden house that once stood here. They must update their
      satellite map, it's several years behind. Unfortunately, Google Maps doesn't
      have the fine details for my area that Wrota Małopolska provides. I can't
      provide an exact link to my house, but I can give the link to my gmina.

      I'll leave the rest up to you.

        This
        tinyurl.com/od4v2 is Siemichow in Google, and you are right, you can't
        see enough detail. Give it a couple of years and you will be able to see the
        same detail as I can se in mine. I can even see one of my kids on the balcony.

      Thanks for the link. North America was available on Googlemaps last year. What
      fun being an armchair traveler this way!

        It is. I sometimes take my daughter on a virtual tour as if in a hot air
        balloon.

          We check on my brother-in-law once in a while and we know exactly when they
          plan a trip because they pull their RV into the front of the house. Also, we
          can tell what day of the week they collect their garbage...the garbage cans
          show beautifully on the google map. Wait a minute...could garbage cans be
          beautiful?

              It might be some time before they get updated. Those seem to be still shots.
              That's why I'm surprised you would say you can see someone in action. Little
              geen men looking up at you after a few shots?

                You cannot see up-to-date stuff. The Warsaw shots that have now been updated
                are from last summer, and this we can tell from the state of advancememnt of
                various building projects going on. Still the little speck on my balcony must
                presumably have been one of the kids playing.

                  The building where I live is from about three yrs ago. The map is actually
                  crap. They called half of Pulawska Mazowiecka, and many other streets are wrong
                  as well.
