At last! Sometimes it is nice to find an area and just look around for a place to eat.

You know, this is simply amazing.

But, conspiracy theory alert:

The entire Old Sevier neighborhood where I grew up (Ground Zero for the South Waterfront project) is blank. Wonder what they know that we don't know?

Yes, it is something else. The ability to move forward/backward and pan around is quite a feature. Imagine all the data Google has been collecting.

I spotted my car.

This includes more of the outlying area than I expected. It even has much of the Foothills Parkway

There's a section missing from Oak Ridge.

Yep, it has most of Blount Co. except the very rural parts, including pretty much all of Maryville and Alcoa and even Rockford. Once you get to Townsend it looks to just have the main highways.

Also, the neighborhood where we live now has never been properly laid on on any mapping software, GPS, etc. The phone company didn't even know our street existed, which is why there were no phone lines when we built our house. My GPS gives me directions to drive across a golf course fairway and some railroad tracks to get out of the neighborhood.

Google Streets has a close approxmiation, but it has the main street going right through people's houses and yards, and it's missing other streets including ours. It has two ends of our street mislabled, and you can see houses on either end of the street, but not ours. Too funny. But it suits me fine.

My theory is that the developers got their initial plat approved, then "tweaked" it and they or the city or both never got the final layout submitted to all the official right places.
