Where in the world is... you.
[color=66ff00]I figured it might be interesting to use google maps to point out where we all are.

maps.google.com

To see roughly where I am type in Belfast and scroll left and down a bit until you find a place called Lurgan in 'map' view. You have to be 6 notches down on the magnification bar to see the label.

Not surprisingly, it's a lot lower resolution than the U.S. but it's enough to show what the area is like. :nod:

Can't find the place, sorry....

It doesn't seem to have any maps for the Netherlands, either.

OI, how come Barrhead has more detailed maps than Glasgow?

[color=66ff00]brings an entirely new meaning to 'I can see your house from here'. :)

Seems only major cities have full resolution, they're the ones picked out in a darker colour at lower zoom levels.

EDIT: Strange, you're right Vyper. Perhaps they're doing full res on clear days as they are able?

The map is obviously several years old. My house is finished, but all the others (which are done by now) are not even begun.
Spoon - I stand in awe by your flawless fredding. Truely, never before have I witnessed such magnificant display of beamz.
Axem -  I don't know what I'll do with my life now. Maybe I'll become a Nun, or take up Macrame. But where ever I go... I will remember you!
Axem - Sorry to post again when I said I was leaving for good, but something was nagging me. I don't want to say it in a way that shames the campaign but I think we can all agree it is actually.. incomplete. It is missing... Voice Acting.
Quanto - I for one would love to lend my beautiful singing voice into this wholesome project.
Nuclear1 - I want a duet.
AndrewofDoom - Make it a trio!

[color=66ff00]There's one about 20 minutes drive from my house too near a marina.

My house (the pointer is at the start of the driveway, so yes my house is the one slightly down and to the right.)

If you zoom out a bit, you can catch some of the awesome view of the entire valley that I have :D

Heh - this is cool. Unfortunately, it doesn;t have any real maps of my house at home, but the pics of the uni go up to the highest detail setting :)

See that H shaped building in the top left? That's where I have most of my classes. It's a 2 minute walk :D

I was zooming about in google earth a few days ago, and decided to zoom over Brisbane, Australia, to see if I could find Grug's house on the map.

I think I did.
