The Christianville Spirit: The Online Mapping World

The Spirit that touches lives

The Online Mapping World has been through a lot of different changes. Remember when you could pull up something like Google Maps and you could barely see your street and your house has blurry? Well, it’s not like that anymore. First off, on a website called Live Search Maps, they have a function called Bird’s Eye View. Bird’s Eye View shows you Cars, The Side of Your House, even almost clearly what a Highway Sign says! So, yesterday I looked Google Maps and I found something like Street View. Street View is a function which you can see the houses and the roads as if you were driving on that road. That means People can see the front of your house, what car is in the driveway, The Street Signs, you name it. Now, I think that’s some pretty cool access but, it’s kind of creepy knowing that people can see your street, your house, your car, and it also the approximate address which the point of the Car on the road taking pictures is on. So, that could mean that it could say your address or close to it. Next thing you know it, they’ll have pictures of your backyard, who knows? All in all though, the Online Mapping World has changed largely.
Thanks for Reading The Christianville Spirit. Tell someone your family that you love them every day. Because it would be better if that were the last thing you said to them before the time they pass away.
