The satellite feature is pretty neat ... I was actually able to pinpoint my house !! Although, the satellite photo was somewhat dated, in that the empty lot shown next to my house has had a house on it for a little over a year ...

Dreamer ... I don't have the coordinates, but if you go to my photo, then click on 'map it' ... keep hitting the zoom in (+) until you see Goddard Memorial Park .. then click on 'go left' and 'go down' until you see Route (4) ... zoom and go left and down until you see Frenchtown Rd ... click on hybrid and you should see the satellite picture and the street names ... continue to zoom until you can't zoom any more ... my house is to the right of the word "Ezechiel" .. ...

I would like to have a house where the satelite points me
They start at 1.500.000,-- in that area.

The satelite is approx 5 miles wrong...

freddy ... was it in your town? ... For mine it was right in the town, although my house is on the outer edges ...

PS ... I'm still amazed, and perhaps a little frightened by the technology ...

For privacy, Frapper will not show your EXACT location. This is why Frapper only asks for a zip (postal) code when you enter your info.

If you want to pinpoint your home, use Google Map. (Frapper is an offspring of Goggle Map)

Not all areas are included for full zoom...not yet.

No it wasn't but overall very close.
I know the satelites can do on a square inch, but that's probably not accesible due to strategic reasons.
My car navigation though can do it
