Now I can visit two of my favorite places even faster Metricon Riva 33 - http://herlihy-riva.blogspot.com Site start 15/03/2010 - Handover 23/12/2010 9 months and 8 days (284 calendar days) from site start to handover Re: Near Map 24Apr 15, 2011 10:19 am We have had ours updated on the 28th Feb and 24th March this year in the Springfield area in Qld, but the best shots were done when near maps got permission to fly over when the Brisbane floods were happening so you can see the ariel photos of the flooding in Brisbane and the surrounds. Cheers Lou http://take2-customdesigndownslope.blogspot.com 07-10-09 omg they have cut the block 14-05-10 we finally have the keys Re: Near Map 25Apr 15, 2011 11:41 am Our area in Croydon Vic was getting updates every 2 - 4 weeks from last year through to the very last picture on 29 January, 2011. We had site start on 7 Feb so we were looking forward to the next photo and then.........NADA. Nothing since 29 Jan. Oh well. If they are due in a week or two, it will be interesting to see when they took it. A bit of a shame that it hasn't kept up it's 2-4 week update though. But yeah, Google maps still shows a working Golf Course on the land that now has dozens of houses on it Build thread: viewtopic.php?f=31&t=34120 Handover 23 Dec 11 Squatting 21 Dec 11 Fixed 12 Oct 11 Plastered 31 Aug 2011 Framed 7 June 2011 Site Start 7 Feb 2011 Land Titled 18 Jan 2010 Land Deposit 25 Jun 2009 Re: Near Map 26Apr 15, 2011 11:47 am Should I mention my area (in regional Victoria) was last updated on 1 January 2004. And even then the pic is so blurry it could really be just a random picture of a green/brown blob Oh well that's the joys of living in the country I suppose . The same issue means that my whole estate isn't on any GPS/online maps; makes navigating to my house a bit difficult for people who haven't been there before. But it's great that everyone else can watch their houses being built - very cool Re: Near Map 28Apr 16, 2011 11:24 pm Hobart was flown for the first time by Nearmap in March this year! Great to see the extreme high-res imagery. Sadly I don't think they are planning to fly here more than once a year, so there will only be one during-construction image at most.

Would possibly have not found the estate if I did not know about the website!

The same issue means that my whole estate isn't on any GPS/online maps; makes navigating to my house a bit difficult for people who haven't been there before. Just on this - if you have a GPS (or a phone with it, eg. iPhone) - then check out OpenStreetMap (http://www.openstreetmap.org). It is created by user-submitted GPS traces. As a result, newly changed or created roads are updated on here almost straight away. Some examples near Hobart (OpenStreetMap on left, Google maps on right): http://tools.geofabrik.de/mc/?mt0=mapni ... 42&zoom=17 http://tools.geofabrik.de/mc/?mt0=mapni ... 15&zoom=16 This is from the Midland Highway just north of Hobart, there is a new transport hub and bypass underconstruction.. the OpenStreetMap map changes every month or so based on construction progress! http://tools.geofabrik.de/mc/?mt0=mapni ... 68&zoom=14 Built 3br house in Glenorchy, Tas in 2001 * * * Built 5br courtyard house in Lenah Valley, Tas in 2011 - Homeone thread / Blog Re: Near Map 32Apr 17, 2011 11:01 am sheznay Can't believe how many of you have had trouble... It if is taking a picture from THAT far away wouldn't EVERYONE be included??? Pretty sure they fly a plane very low with camera equipment. Re: Near Map 33Apr 17, 2011 8:20 pm Yep Nearmap is flown by plane. It's a pretty expensive and time consuming process to do so I'm not surprised their coverage rates have blown out from what they claimed when they launched.

So much for every month,but at least it`s not every few yrs like google earth Re: Near Map 38Jun 01, 2011 9:21 pm Fantastic website - thanks for the tip We're Perth so are lucky to be every month. Going to be fun during the build. I just spotted one of our soon to be neighbours has a pool and from the looks of it, it's one of the fibreglass ones we were considering. Wonder if they'll feel a little privacy-violated if we go and knock on the door to ask them about it....?
