    Yeah my neighborhood is just a blurry jpeg.

    And that's extra scary to me, because there's a large, out-of-focus monster roaming the countryside.

    Americans made roads with corners? Or is that just an insane rich mans honby train set?

    They didn't quite get it right.

    My house is actually at the other end of the block. , 6 houses to the right of the one indicated, mine is the one with the brown roof.

    This is where I live... BrisVegas Australia. It doesn't have my address in it -_- (not to mention the map is over a year old... :p)

    See the T intersection at the top of the map cut? Well follow the road down (its actually a steep incline :p) to the bottom of the map and I live on the left hand side near the end there... 3rd house back. :p...

    Lots of trees where I live :)

    Bing!

    Mini, my town was made back in the mid 1900's, modeled by Frederick Law Olmsted, same dude who created NY's central park. Anyone driving into this place who's unfamiliar and who I've spoken to claimed that after they got a few blocks in, they lost all sense of direction and wound up lost for a couple minutes. As you can see, every block towards the north and south is pretty much an oval.

    I'm around here as Google puts my actual address onto the freaking mormon church next door
  • BergamotBergamot
    FLC: The mormon church is in the middle of an intersection?
  • lechlech ✭
    Where most churches should be!
  • FLCFLC New
    no, the church is (if you follow that road north) just on the top edge of the map, no where near my apartment (the block of buildings to the left of the bubble)

    Jesus mark. I now understand why everyone in america seems to navigate by blocks. Thats basically a map grid laid on the floor goin on right there. Crazy americans.
    I need to come back there some day.

    I seem to live in unknown territory. Let's hope we will be discovered and colonized soon.
  • lechlech ✭
    hehe, mini, Canada != America :) unless you mean generally N. America, then yeah, it's mostly grids. Excluding my little suburban maze town.
  • MarkMark Vanilla Staff
    I actually love the grid system. I know it doesn't look like much from outer space, but it's so easy to navigate. No-one ever gets lost here.
