    Have people messed around with this yet ? Ive no idea how long its been out. Its quite possible that Im just slow. Its like google earth but better.

    Go to the website, find your house, click birds eye, take a screenshot and post! You might want to turn labels off so people wont know your address.

    Google Earth has more detail, not a bad start though.

    Its actually quite up to date.

    Lol, there is a guy out on the green in my area. I'd be able to make a pretty good guess as to who it is too :D

    Its actually scary!
    Im trying to figure out when it was taken. Liffey Valley was closed (no cars in the car park) My work was closed (no cars) Dublin City is fairly empty too. Maybe its 28 days later...

    Forgot about this thread. We could play a game where you take a screenshot and everyone else tries to guess where in Dublin it is. (I assume Dublin is the ownly detailed area)
