Mij Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 OK I admit I don't check Google Earth very often but pleased to see that at last there are detailed pics of the Isle of Man there. For years it was just a blurry distant shot (with half of Douglas covered in cloud - now you can see whether you are in a shot, and spot your car in the drive etc! Sorry if this is old news!

Albert Tatlock Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 Still a bit out of date. Checking out some new builds e.g. the new cemetary is there, but not the new estate below it on Johnny Wattersons lane. More interestingly, the sea cat is shown as a blue dot aground on the tower of refuge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snaefell050 Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 I can see my house on the maximum zoom level, and I live in the middle of nowhere! (Ballamodha Straight). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Utah 01 Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 I'd date it summer 2006; anyone able to pin it down more accurately? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimcalagon Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 You can see the Ballaugh Children's day in progress next to the Parish hall in Ballaugh. Judging from the cars in my drive a couple of hundred yards away it is 2006. Ballaugh Children's day in 2006 was on the afternoon of the 15th of July. However the IOM has a number of diffferent pictures 'stitched' together and not all of them may be from the same date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snaefell050 Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 On the map by my home there is a trampoline which is not there now as it's been put away for the winter, so yeah it's probably a bit outdated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mij Posted November 30, 2008 Author Share Posted November 30, 2008 Maybe Castletown could give a clue, given the building work that has been going on there. However, as the previous poster said, these pictures are compilations of many different one, hence buildings appear to "lean" in different directions.

manx890 Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 I would go for 15th July as well as the Jurby Roads Race is on you can see the Paddock set up on the Runway not the cross runway they use for the circuit races. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mojomonkey Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 It's a mixture of different dates and times, as it is linked to the aerial survey work undertaken on behalf of DLGE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silentbob Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 The fair/Horse thingy at St Marks is on as well, so July/August looks about right. To be honest, I would like to see it updated in Autumn when no leaves on trees so you can see more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
