Re: Google Your Boat!
Cool thread. Google maps show my slip empty, and I can tell from the other boats that it was recent, so either I had the boat on the lake or on the hard. I did find two boats on the lake, but the resolution was not good enough for me to tell if either was my boat.
The key to inner peace is to admit you have a problem and leave it at that.

Re: Google Your Boat!
Anybody have Google 3D view where their boat is?

Re: Google Your Boat!
Hey, that's a great idea. Anyone can make a 3d pin for google maps. I've done it. I can't remember how.

There is not even a Google street view of my place

Re: Google Your Boat!
You mean a shared page for all us Mac owners? I've seen that before. It might have been for my previous boat model (Ooyang Matilda).

Re: Google Your Boat!
Let's see if this works.
It looks like I can't embed it here. Can anyone else stick a pin on this map?

Re: Google Your Boat!
Have you tried Google Earth? More coverage that Google Maps, no street view, but in some cases oblique and even 3D views.

Re: Google Your Boat!
My property is too wooded to see the boat from the air. Street view was the only viable option.
Come to think of it, since the last hurricane it may show up on a satellite view next time the take pics.
