    Judging by the Google maps view of an address I am quite familiar with; I would say they haven't driven by here in 8 to 10 years. I just noticed on the view. It is dated August 2009, so I didn't miss it by much.

    I can tell by the height of the trees and "items" sitting on the location.

    Satellite images on Google Earth are updated at most once each year or two. My address, which has had my home staining on it since 2016, still shows a vacant lot.

    Those are not live images but are instead snapshots that are uploaded. Google Earth/Maps and several other apps/websites all use the same images, OnX Hunts app along with my ELD all show the exact same images.

    The Google earth picture of my house was taken when my friend from San Diego was parked next to my shop. It was last July.

    You might want to see a doctor about that, if you are still there.

    LMOA [:D][:D] If only it were that easy.

    One of the pluses of life in Florida is that my property taxes are 50% less than what I was paying in California on what was a smaller home. If they can do something about the nightmare traffic in Orlando, Florida would be paradise!
