[PRCo] Re: Using Street View at Google Maps

[Frederick J. Sauerburger, M.D.]

Derrick,

So, when you discussed this with "G", did you come to any conclusions?

How about old maps?, you ask......Other than the Sanborn(sp?) 
Insurance Maps which have a silhouette of the building footprints on 
them, how would comparing a vertical view help to determine which way 
the artist was facing on the April PTM image??
In case the above question is answered by the urls below, I can't 
seem to access them.  (No problem with other dementia urls, but with 
these, all I get is a square with the little "x" in the upper left 
hand corner), and when I right click and direct it to "show picture", 
nothing happens.

Any help for the partially cyber-challenged would be appreciated.

The Grateful Fred
