Google's satellite mapping service (ok, some areas have a street view) Google Maps just got bigger. Egypt, Iraq, mainland Europe and the UK are all now satellite mapped now. Please play with this wonderful tool and report your findings to this thread. (To turn on the satellite view, press the 'Satellite' link in the upper right hand corner.)

Its hard to describe where my house is. But I'll try: It is West of the straight roads, south of the orange house near the center of the map, north of the little circle near the bottom of the map. There is a big house and a small house just some metres north of two white things (Which I dont know what it is)

Lol. Look how god damned dry everything is..... Even I was surprised. I had to go and find my area manually, since I don't think addresses work with Australia.... I found my local shopping center (which is pretty big) and then zoomed in and found my house!
Google Maps is awesome.

I do however think that the location you found was their previous offices (as for example http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valve_Software says they're based in Bellevue).

I find it interesting that GM has no zoomed view for the coordinates N 37?25'15.6", W 115?22'32.9" - Which is somewhere at Area 51. The entire general vicinity has no close up zooms =[
