Its a nice graphic enhanced version with even better detail on the zoom-in. I found several of the homes I've lived in. Zooming in on New York is a real trip, you can see individual people!  |  IP: Logged Mike Spaeth Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1129 From: Marietta, GA Registered: Jul 2000 posted 12-05-2005 04:10 AM                        Yeah - I've had it since before it was Google Earth. My version is still called "Keyhole"  |  IP: Logged Paul Cassidy Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 549 From: Auckland, New Zealand Registered: Aug 2001 posted 12-14-2005 02:58 AM                        Hey it works Now .....

For some unknown reason my arrow showed up about a mile SW of the street where I live, a couple miles west of where the zip code is indicated. And I don't know why..... It's because Frappr puts your locator icon on the geographic center of the zip code you entered. If you want the icon to be more accurate for some reason, go back to the Film-Tech Frappr page. After you've added yourself, look in the "Step 1" box, and click on where it says "Modify" next to your location. On the right side is a mini-map where you can move the marker to better represent your location. It may be helpful to click the "Hybrid" button on the mini-map if you wish to be more precise in placing your marker, as the streets aren't always exactly right.

The only major downside to it is the program demands a decent amount of computing horsepower. It runs great on my new Dell desktop computer at work (Pentium D dual core 3.2GHz, 2GB of RAM, GeForce6800 video card), runs pretty decently on my notebook computer (Pentium M 1.86GHz, 2GB of RAM, ATI X300 video card) and cannot run for shit on my old home desktop machine (Pentium III 1GHz, 512MB of RAM, 64MB GeForce2 GTS video card). Google Earth is somewhat odd for the varying levels of detail available for certain areas of the country. My city (Lawton) is just low rez crappy blurry. But just north of town, the Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge has really high res detail. Mount Scott even pokes out in 3D. It's also wierd how the satellite views are stitched together. I was looking at the area of Staten Island where I used to live. The perspective of my old house was from a different angle than the Verrazano Narrows Bridge right nearby. Late Edit I was checking out some stuff on Google Earth -and happened to take a look at Seattle. Someone in that city must have pulled some strings to get high rez views of Seattle photographed at just the right time. You can zoom into Seahawks Stadium. An NFL game is in progress. The stadium is packed. And it looks like the Seahawks are about to score. Kind of interesting that they would stick some really huge lettering on the tops of both Seahawks Stadium and Safeco Field nearby. Easy to read via satellite.

I live in a van down by the river! Nah, seriously, I'm on that map!  |  IP: Logged Jim Bedford Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 597 From: Telluride, CO, USA (733 mi. WNW of Rockwall, TX but it seems much, much longer) Registered: Jun 99 posted 03-11-2006 09:48 AM                        A couple of months ago I went to Frappr, registered, and put in my name, location and and pix. Went back today to take Robert's suggestion as to how to make the arrow to my location more accurate and found my name now spelled wrong, no pix (Brad's and a bunch of others also look absent) and I can't log on as there is no record of my account. WTF is going on here?  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 03-11-2006 03:16 PM                     It's all screwy, I mean it is listing Kyle McEachern as living in CA!  |  IP: Logged Phil Hill I love my cootie bug Posts: 7595 From: Hollywood, CA USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 03-11-2006 04:14 PM                  I agree, Brad! KY-le should be listed as residing with me in SoCal even though he moved to Las Vegas! Sex should be listed as an "extra"... that boi is sooo hhot!  |  IP: Logged Diane Linton Film Handler Posts: 15 From: Palm Bay, FL.

I don't have any good recent pics of me, but family is visiting this weekend so I'm sure I'll get a few to choose from.  |  IP: Logged Robert Burtcher Expert Film Handler Posts: 194 From: Oklahoma City, Oklahoma Registered: Jun 2005 posted 04-08-2006 04:07 AM                     Ooh, Frappr lets you add places as well as people now. Fancy. I suspect that soon members will be adding their theatre locations, as well as clues as to where the infamous Blue House sits.  |  IP: Logged
