Your Address Image On Google Maps

Have you looked at your address on Google Maps? Is the image of your house recent or is it time they updated it?

Mine is from last summer, I can tell because our HOA had cut out a chunk of our lawn to replace.

Mine is 8 years old. Since I have seen the Google vehicle driving around many times updating the maps, I am fine with not wasting gasoline just so my house paint is current. It you look at the pictures you would still know it is the house.

lol for some reason my google pic is correct but if using gps it will take you to a house down the road. This is why I also do not have a physical mailbox. We built our home a few years ago but the county has never updated our address accurately. This really scares me in the event I ever needed to call 911.

Mine is old. You can only see a tree (they must have zoomed into the big tree out front), a trash can at the curb and part of my old next door neighbor's car & driveway. They moved 8 years ago.

ETA: I just checked and mine is dated July 2013. More than 10 years old.

Mine is hidden behind a very large tree, but from what I can see of it, it appears to be two paint jobs/10 years ago.

Mine looks to be about four years old. But a friend of mine that lives on the North end of town is only a few months old because the new vehicle he got is in the picture

Just looked it shows 2022. I don't care if they update it or not. It's still going to look the same?

Because my house sits well back from the road the photo for my address actually shows a neighbor's house. That house is close to the road.

I'm not on Google Maps, Street View, etc.

Too rural. 😁

@cheriere

Never had to call 911 until 5 AM one morning last summer. It can happen in a flash when life or death is at stake.

Please get the address corrected before you have to make a call to 911 or someone has to make it for you.

If the local government is unresponsive, create your own sign for out front so that an ambulance knows where to pull in. Make sure it can be seen at night and be high enough that a snow bank doesn't cover it.

When you are waiting for the EMT's to arrive, seconds can feel like an eternity....

May you never be in that situation.

The one for my home is relatively new because it shows our new landscaping that we had done 2 years ago. The one for my office shows the car I purchased in March 2022 on the driveway.

Mine is still pretty old. I've not seen it changed for quite a while. It was in the summer, and I think it's about 8 years old. One of my husband's older car is in the driveway.

Mine is several years old. I changed the color of the shutters after I bought the house. But the image is from before the sell.
