GreenHybrid's Frapper Member's Map!
 
Jason & moderators, I hope this is OK with you.

Click > http://www.frappr.com/greenhybrid

Don't worry if you live outside North America - if you enter your name, it will scroll to anywhere in the world except Antartica (maybe that's on Frapper 2.0 :D )

To make an entry, put your name or nickname, zip code/postal code/City, then a message. Picture is optional.

Cool thing is it has three views:
  • Map
  • Satellite
  • Hybrid (all of the above)
You can zoom in if you get the urge to say, see the Golden Gate Bridge, or Washington Monment from space. Note that the resolution varies for security reasons, etc....

I just wish my car was parked in front of my house when the picture of my neighboorhood was taken

You can also use Google Earth to get the same photos. It is easier to use although it won't have the member's list.

The photo of my house is a few years old - I can tell by what was parked in my driveway. If this kinda resolution is available for free, imagine what the government has access too.:omg:

Looks interesting. I went ahead and added myself.

I noticed that most metro areas have higher resolution in the US, with the obvious exception of the White House. I could not see The Parliment or Buckingham Palace in London, again security reasons.

Thread moved to Anything Goes and stickied. Now lets all start populating that map.

Great idea! How cool to start seeing pins pop up!

What a piece of junk! It doesn't have my city. :(

I'll just use the Vancouver since nobody really cares about the 'burbs. :P

I'm on.

Hmmmmm, did you get this idea from another site? :angel: Nice Chuck, This is cool. Neat to have a map like this.

Delta, I'll be your way on Turkey Day. Around the North Richland Hills area.

Someone did this to me at my pet site: www.spencerthelion.com and another site I visit as well.

Very nice feature!
I wanted to keep my exact location hidden so I put in the Zip for a nearby city. :embarass:

Wow, that's a great idea. How have I not read this thread until now?

I'm in!

I added, thought maybe bumping this up would help the newer people notice it more. I actually downloaded google earth because of this thread, rather interesting. My area isn't too detailed ... wonder if there is something 'top secret' that we don't know about here:P I did try to find things that were security issues ... such as 'area 51' ... there are some wierd circles of black and green in that area. It is amazing the resolution, seeing cars (in process) switching lanes on freeways, waves and people on the beach. I can't imagine what they have if this is what is public!!!

Not that I know anything about it, but I've heard U2 aircraft and imaging satellites can determine the type of beer you're drinking while you're sitting in your backyard...

Re: GreenHybrid's Frapper Member's Map!
 
that was interesting ... 5cm resolution?!! and that is what is released ...

IMHO, that is a little scary:omg: . I am sure with the technology they can see inside of buildings, like they can do underground imaging from satellites for geological purposes. Oh, I mean 'Big Brother' is only there to help you ...:zip: My teachers had me read too many political books like Alas, Babylon, and Farenheit 451 hehe :angel:

I hate veering really off-topic but the Global Security website burns me. Too much important info that is easily accessible to anyone with a computer.

As far as government coverups etc. No such thing as far as I know :angel::zip: .

Re: GreenHybrid's Frapper Member's Map!
 
I have looked at various places, such as my home, my workplace, etc.... Some lightly populated areas don't have as good a resolution. Some landmarks (in places like Washington D.C.) are a bit fuzzy for apparent security reasons.

very cool, it seems the hypermilers are more on the edge of the map than in the middle.

For some reason my location in Atlanta keeps dissappearing.

You might try zooming in a little.

My shout-outs sometimes don't show on the initial resolution, but put in an appearance when I close in on their locations.

Some of the problem may be due to being hidden by other shout-outs. But one of mine is not within 200 miles of any other, and still does not display sometimes until I zoom in.

Several threads have spam as their last post. This causes the spam posts to show up on the main contents page even though the spammers have been banned. Copies of this post will serve as a place holders to remove the spammers from the contents page. If they bother anyone I'll delete them after the threads resume normal activity.

It's a great idea but how about Google earth we can also see that there if I'm not mistaken and it easy that way.
