Where do you live - google earth
 

I noticed Google Earth was updated and is now very detailed on most places. I thought I would be a nice idea to tell us where you live and give the coordinates. (I'm not gonna nuke your house, I promise).

You can put those coordinates in Google Earth, and it should fly you directly to the place, even house if your neighbourhood is very detailed.

Ill start it off, Im giving you to the coordinates of my parents house, because the site is nicer and where I live in Arnhem is just a towerblock, nothing to see there.

I'm not sure how this works, but I was able to get there using this:

Directions:

Start: netherlands
End: "Sliedrecht" lat=51.822477, lon=4.77019


For the exact location of my house, manually search this:

lat=51.492407, lon=4.450224

ok, let's go!

I don't think this is such a good idea. I mean this is actually making your home address avaliable to anyone one the internet which is very unsafe.

Re: Where do you live - google earth
 

You can give the coordinates as close as you want.

Re: Where do you live - google earth
 

I've attached a placemark file. Just unzip the file, double click on the placemark file inside, and voilá, you get taken to my house in flight mode.

Lol. They finally updated the pics around my neighborhood. Before a few months ago, that center thingy on our cul de sac used to not be shown on the Google Earth photos, that was before they did construction to my neighborhood 5+ years ago.

Awesome, thanks for the place-mark tip Chaos! Where would I be without you?! <3

That's my hometown, you wouldn't be able to see my house anyway since it's just a blur.

Re: Where do you live - google earth
 

They have yet to update the resolution for my area so it all is a big blurry mess, but I attached my location anyway.

Re: Where do you live - google earth
 

Not all. There's a small part built on, and it's split between two families. Most of it is originally one house though.

lat=51.492407, lon=4.450224?

Re: Where do you live - google earth
 

Ok, here's my placemark :)


edit: damn, chaos, you live awefully close to my ex-gf. :eek:

I'd strongly recomend that this thread get shut down and removed. Many years back when the wildwest community was more active here we had one individual that caused all sorts of trouble for both the wildwest community and it's suporting members (we lost a major helper due to anonomus cross country hurrassing calls that, due to coutry border issues couldn't be procecuted) as well as repeted attacks on this forum site (and it's affiliates).

I could only imagine what he would have done with a file full of member's home addresses. All you need these days is just a tiny bit of info to dig up more info on folks. A coordinate leads to an address which leads to a name and phone, and all sorts of other info to a dedicated individual.

Re: Where do you live - google earth
 

People can narrow down the location (in both the placemark and the coordinates) as little or as much as they want. They can placemark the country, the region, the city, or their house. Hell, even their specific room if the picture is clear enough. People posting their details here (like me) are taking a 'risk', sure. But we've all thought it through first, or at least I assume most people have.

Re: Where do you live - google earth
 

Good point you have there. I will ask my superiors on their opinions in the matter.
:lock: during the time, and posts who reveal to much soft deleted until further notice.

Re: Where do you live - google earth
 

This thread is again open.

However....

Disclaimer:
When posting your coordinates and your addresses you are taking a risk. Think twice before you post a placemark tracing to your address.
If you have posted in the thread earlier and now changed your mind, send me a PM and I will delete your post.

Re: Where do you live - google earth
 

I move around a lot, so there's no real way to pinpoint my location.

Nomadic is best. :nodding:

Those who wish to airstrike my ass will need a new tactic.

nordic! <3

Well, like chaos said, you can narrow it down as much as you like, I actually enjoyed finding Chaos' house, coz I know exactly where it is, just a few meters from my ex-girls house :p
Oh, and nobody nuked us yet.
