Hey - you put yourself in Benecia.... so where are you really?

And I see Terry put herself somewhere in the wilds of southern

Do you guys want me to delete so you can start over, and zoom in
BEFORE placing a marker?

I've discovered it's far easier to use the mouse to just drag the map to the
center than to use those arrows... but you still have to (so far) use the
slider to zoom in. For those who have intensive firewalls... turn them off
otherwise this won't work! I've given that advice to two folks so far with
good results. Note: remember to turn your firewalls back on.

I got to the right street, but not to the right house. It doesn't matter
much, as we're still planning our move before the end of the year. Delays,
delays, delays...

of moving but it's not going to happen any time soon.

Not very far. We've had repeatedly problems on securing land and getting
the house plans to work on various plots. The most current property we're
hoping to get is only 1.1 miles from where we're at now. Our original
target date was in September. We'll be lucky now if it's December.
Luckily, they can easily build year 'round out here.

The housing and land market has gone completely insane in AZ. Many
properties are being sold via lotteries. Where the national housing
incrase for last year was around 13%, AZ was 43%.

At this rate you might move before we do! :-)

If I remember correctly... they are building.

I found out that if you turn on the satellite or hybrid view, you can
pretty much pinpoint your house. It doesn't always work though, as
some places haven't really been mapped yet for the imagery.

In some places, the image resolution has been deliberately reduced. My town
used to be home to a missile silo, so the satellite image of the town has
been reduced to a bunch of solid blocks of color.

That's the "price" of moving into a new development!
