I was reading Alison's blog entry on Google Earth and it reminded me of MY encounter with Google Earth.
My wife and I moved to a small dead-end dirt road in Richmond, VT about two years ago. I immediately went to Google Earth to look at where we lived but the maps were indistinct and blurry. We could barely make out the road we lived on (compared to looking at the airport five miles away where we could count the planes on the tarmac). When I complained to a friend of mine, he said that Google updates sections of the map faster depending on how many requests for an area it gets. I got a bunch of my friends to sporadically check out our house on Google Maps and, about a month ago, the maps cleared up. You can see our house in the middle of the clearing. Interestingly enough, it doesn't show any of the land we cleared this spring so the images must be at least six months old. I can hardly wait to see our lower field. If any of you want to help out, click on my house link and let Google know that I live in an important place :)
