Dude, There's My Car!

Via MetaFilter we get the USGS Seamless Data Distribution System Viewer, which allows for crazy levels of detail of just about anywhere they've gotten around to mapping, including the street I live on.

That'd be my silver '87 Volvo in the driveway of that house, dead center of the image. (Click the pic for an enlargement). I had to park it off the street when the neighbors called it in for having expired out-of-state plates sometime the first year we lived here, but I hate blocking the sidewalk otherwise.

Some nice neighbours you got there :)

How'd you figure out how to work this viewer deal?
