St.-Petersburg, Russia: zoom stops about mid-range
No detailed info, I guess.
(well, I don't live there any more anyway :) )
Christian, your fate must be similar.
Edit: I was wrong! Satellite imagery is available at deeper level.
My area is not available, but my wife's is there:

She lived at the intersection of smaller streets in the center of the picture, but I can't pinpoint the exact building.

Took a bit of doing; scrolled west from St Pete's...
...and stopped when the contours started to look familiar. As best I can, I've [link|http://www.google.com/maps?ll=60.165854,25.045481&spn=0.066948,0.079565&t=k&hl=en|centered this pic on where we live]. (No ICBMs, please.)

Your lies are of Microsoftian Scale and boring to boot.

Neat. I was born here.
I lived [link|http://www.google.com/maps?q=Grosse+Ile,+Michigan&ll=42.104158,-83.160753&spn=0.057077,0.066004&t=k&hl=en|here] shortly after I was born. The hospital was "Seaway Hospital" across the river. No memory of it, and the actual house may not exist any more. The airport used to be a [link|http://nasgi.org/|Naval Air Station] - CAUTION - cheesy music plays when that page loads.

Heh - me, I was apparently...
...born in picture #22 of [link|http://www.festpark.de/tuebingen-show.pps|this slideshow of Tübingen]; it's the big red-brick building labelled "Frauenklinik" [="Womens' Clinic"]. :-)

Satellite imagery okay for my part of Sydney.

That shows my local railway station, Heathcote, in the lower left corner, the local High School in the upper right corner, with my villa complex just below an o the left of the school. My villa is right in the middle of the complex.

Thanks for the update. Missiles targeted, weapons free.

Yep. Water tank.

It's a beauty. :-)
My grad school adviser grew up in Australia and has a home in Sydney that he rents out. He liked to tell stories of clearing out the back yard before letting his young kids play. He'd take a couple of fence pickets and smash all the tarantulas he found, etc.
He made Tasmania sound like paradise. It's another place on my To Visit list, one of these days...
Cheers,
Scott.

This is fascinating
I just followed the road from Wade's place to mine. I'm on [link|http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=-33.972656,151.113886&spn=0.008229,0.010664&t=k&hl=en| this map]. Below the railyway line. No I'm not going to pinpoint the spot I'm living in to the whole wide world.
But my, this is fun.
Two out of three people wonder where the other one is.

Holy CIA-targetting-fun, Batman!
All. those. cars.
[Ackshully not all That many...]
driving on the wrong side of the road - and
How Nice - that in your territory, they don't let the developers cut down all the trees.. then wait 50 years for some shrubs to sorta expand.
Love the %greenery; even huge copses (er coppices?). Maybe no Hampsted Heath, but then..
But how's come I don't seem to see any Roundabouts @ +1 on the gain pot?
European plan? No street parking?
Cheers,

We have plenty of roundabouts.
But I'm wondering if what you're calling "roundabouts" is what we call "roundabouts". Besides, most of ours are small.

Sydney has none that size.
And few in the "middle" category. Here's one of the few I know of: [link|http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=-33.925245,151.227386&spn=0.008057,0.008916&t=k&hl=en|http://maps.google.c....008916&t=k&hl=en]
