Edit: Holy Crap! Mine actually has a street view picture of the front of my house. You can even see the back of the Oilhead in the driveway!

That's one attribute of living in nowhere, where I live. Google won't spend money taking pictures of miles of the same old thing. Ever see a big corn field? One corn field is the same as the next. To be fair, we have plenty of beets and the other stuff those guys grow. Sometimes there's cows.

I'm trying to respect you guy's privacy. MS got pinpointed somehow (he probably gave me his address).

If you want to be in front of your house, let me know.

These days, if a person lives in a city or town, I put their marker in a park near the center of said place.
For instance, I have my marker at the center of Indianapolis. "They" will never find me! :D

You do realize that the only reason the logon/password info is not public is due to hackers.
And I have been busy this week and have not gotten to the last few requests.

My phone knows where I am, Google knows where I am, Facebook knows where I am, but I suppose it could be necessary to obfuscate a little so that old guys with old motorcycles can't find me.

Old guys with old motorcycles aren't the ones to worry about. It's the jealous husbands and love struck women that would concern me.

Well, OK. Not true. Just a little sojourn to fantasy land.

Besides, the Kiamichi Wood Nymphs would be miffed--and that's not a good thing.

I am pretty sure that when the Sons of Anarchy decide to track me down, the Boxerworks forum will be the first place they look to find me. It is so much more logical than say, Google, which also seems to know my address.

In my work, sometimes I use up to 3 GPS programs at a time. If (big IF) you have an actual address, they may help you get there, albeit roundabout. Once I find the course up a mountain to the site, I can track back and save the track. Then, the next time I have the rode in GPS and it is easy. For cell site work, the program by Microsoft is the standard. While it is fraught with troubles, it is the best. The Garmin etc. are often useless. The smart phone GPS aren't any better.

You really need to have a sense of direction and logic to use a GPS, because the data from governments can be almost totally useless. On my recent trip, North Dakota and Minnesota were the worst states for errors.
