Very cool website

By some of the comments this sounds like a street view, is the correct?
I only get the satellite view.
When I compared my result to flying over on SW Airlines that's what I was saying-aerial view but ours is only off by ~ 3 miles, which is a long ways when your looking for an unmarked private road. I know this based on the view I was given being the road our property fronts-just not the correct place on that road. My purpose in bringing this up again here is a serious concern I already had about people trying to find me-people in an ambulance,firetruck,police,tax collector,etc.!!!
The story: some yrs back we were on vacation when the lady(she was once my wifes' secretary & incompetent then too) that was given the task of getting private roads into the counties new 911 system & signed , came around to get our info.. I tried to get it done(our private road is a gravel road ~ 1/2 mile off pavement) after I found out we were missed but never seemed to get anyone to do anything. Our elected county judge has promised a few times but still nothing. I've asked how they ad newly built other roads and no answer. Is it not a fact that emergency people use this information to find you? If they do, they will spend a typical 30-45 minutes in another location wandering around while God only knows what emergency goes unfound! Having had a heart attack in 2004 plus the reality of fire as a potential danger for anyone I have serious concern about Google Maps being "off the mark" to find our place. I had one "dish guy" that ended up on a ridge that's ~ 8miles away while most end up down the road ~ 2-3 miles and there is a private dirt road that goes up past a lake & through the woods for several miles to nobodies house. Lakes actually owned by a quarry as their crusher water supply.
What say you on getting this corrected? Call Google maps & ask at them?:)
