I used this when it was first announced public to get directions to my friend's house.

I like it more than MapQuest. :P

It would be cool if they could have more in depth images.

The zoom bar at the top left of my screen don't zoom that much, it only goes halfway and you can't see much with that.

It's kinda off though, my house is more where that white house is next to the arrow. Though, my house isn't white - it's red (except for our porch we just added, which is white.) Hmm.

This is one of those days I wish I was a stalker.  Everybody not only giving their address, but DIRECTIONS and PICTURES! 

My house is covered by a green cloud.  Everything west of a few streets over is green cloudy.  Guess that means they don't have a picture.. :/

Haha, no, I just found my parking slot. The picture is from before I lived there.

I did find my parents car though. It's green, and they parked it in the street last summer because brother was using the garage for something.

No, not all, but brick slated roofs are very common for residential houses. Probably because it's a natural and long-lasting material.

If you look at the slightly more overview picture (http://www.valhallalegends.com/adron/img/adronmap.jpg) you'll see that there are also black or grayish roof tops, west of where I live. Those houses belong to an industrial area (previously military). I'm not sure what material those are, perhaps it's just tin roof.

Google doesn't have the really nice closeup satellite maps for the west side of Madison. The rest of the city seems to be covered by them, though.

This was the best I could do (http://stealthbot.net/misc/stalk.jpg) :p

Ah, I see. There are some asphalt roofs here too. There are even some roofs around here that are covered by asphalted paper, you can buy rolls of that kinda like how you'd buy wallpaper.

My parent's roof is covered with Pennine (http://www.russell-rooftiles.co.uk/pages/tilesataglance.asp) shaped tiles, in the reddish brick color. I'm pretty sure it's the most common one by far in Sweden.

I used a site that's specific to Sweden. I can't link directly to the map because it's all eww javascript. Here's a link to one of the English pages though: http://geoimager.lantmateriet.se/dkny/product_info.php?cPath=1_4738&products_id=16.

The connection is timing out.  That likely means we're hitting a firewall or a router that filters ports.
