My childhood home on google maps

I’ve been playing with google maps ever since september, and I’ve always been surprised at the level of detail available in the satellite imagery of my parents’ farm. They’re not in the middle of nowhere, but I don’t think Alhambra, Alberta, Canada has much political or military significance!

If you drag the map a little to see the field to the north of the farm yard, and zoom in close, you can actually see cows in the field.

I’ve used quikmaps to doodle up the map — this is the first blog entry containing a map from quikmaps, as I’ve not yet released it to the general public. There’s still a few bugs in the iframe size generation…

    Normally I would not post a comment, but you’ve put together a nice post here and I wanted to say thank you.
