Friends,
Just last night, I was able to locate my lot and subdivision via Google Earth. Hence, if there's anyone interested, I can send you the satellite shots of my lot and its surroundings; and also a view of the city of Manila from the lot. My lot was measured at 542 feet above sea level.
It's not crystal clear though as a typical photo from a camera but it can give you a good view of the terrain around the lot, the subdivision's terrain as well from the Sumulong Highway gate; and it gives you also a good perspective of the lot from the highway. You can tilt the image to see the terrain or rotate it with a compass guiding you.
I was amazed Google Earth had this photographed.
Other parts of Metro Manila though are blurred except for some places I searched such as SM Bicutan and SM Sucat, the NAIA, SM Mall of Asia (with some clouds hovering though), Roxas Blvd and even my ancestral place in Baclaran. The Loyola Heights area is a bit clear. The oil depot in Pandacan was pronounced. You can appreciate the main roads of the metro; and even some side streets.
Haven't tried Mindanao yet.
To use this facility, you have to download the software...it's free. Click on
