a little scary for the stalker who is looking for where you live!

the address is always messed up with my work on these satelite things.

By only about 100 meters or so.

actually, last time i used google maps to get me somewhere, it gave me bad directions. instead of taking me to fort macarthur afb, it took me to the fort macarthur museum. i had already driven 10 hours to get to LA, and it was nearing midnight. not pretty.

nonetheless, i still like it, but i'm hesitant now to trust just one mapping so i usually check it against another just in case.

Why's that? It's been rather easy to turn an address into a physical location for many years now.

Welcome to the club!!

I love it. Much easier to use than mapquest... and no banners!

My only complain is it gave misleading/confusing direction last time I used it.

the satellite image is like 7 years old. My house was built 2 years ago and it didn't show up on the satellite map. All I saw was a big open space

My home addy, a 240-unit condominium built in '89, is not on the map either. I'd still use the Google map first and then mapquest as a last resort.
