If you download the most recent version of Google Earth and click the "Street View" layer, there are 360 degree pics of just about every house in Columbus. The pics include all around campus and you can swing them around and look in a complete circle, look up and down and zoom in and out.

Some pretty neat memories "driving around" Woody Hayes Drive with this thing...Enjoy it!

Wow... now that's cool. Wonder if we should send this link over to BN so that those nutbags can find either their brains or pride.

I just found the street view option a few weeks ago. Right after I zoomed in on my house I took it straight to Columbus to look around. Definitely pretty cool.

I could never find the street view from maps.Google that I get from Google Earth. Where is the street view located on maps.google.

Around a while but the pics recently have been updated.

The difference between GoogleEarth and GoogleMaps is that a different shot is taken at each address in GoogleEarth. So, there are about twenty shots taken just on one side of Ohio Stadium alone, taken as the photo unit drove down the street. GoogleEarth also has different photos.

If you want to really impress us, Steve, post the link to view your neighborhood way down south. Probably can actually see the whales in the water. :biggrin:

The street level shots haven't been extended to South Africa.

Turn on the Panaramio links, under Geographic Web in the layers.

Search for Oudekraal, South Africa and put that in the center of your screen.

Zoom out to 28 kms above, so tha you capture the screen from Houtbaai (wood bay, Hout Bay in English) to Bantry Bay at the top of the screen.

Just look at all of the pics. My favorite Sunday run (now walk) is from Bantry Bay to Hout Bay or the reverse. i don't see any whales in these shots, but there are shots in Panaramio (especially if you go to Hermanus, South Africa, just down the coast).

Here's the GoogleMaps link to Newlands Rugby Stadium: Google Maps

I think that future internationals in Cape Town are likely to be played in the new Green Point Stadium: New Green Point Stadium Concept/Plan
