Microsoft Live gets its maps from Navteq. Below is the link for reporting an area that needs updating. Another map provider is teleatlas, I've provided the link, they also allow you to say where a map needs updating.



Keep in mind, you submit a report to Navteq, they will update their maps, but providers choose at what interval to buy updates from Navteq, to keep costs down, many places only update once a year, so it could be up to a year before you might see changes to map and nav systems.

  • A title company granted us title insurance on a construction loan we made on lots with no access.?

    We made this loan based on information from a loan broker we had worked with for several years. The title company used a map that was out of date. Since the time of the map, a boulevard had been expanded into an expressway, which truncated the lots in question and eliminated any access to the lots. Visit Google Earth, 664 1st street, Richmond, CA for an aerial view. We think we have a legitimate claim against the title company, but don't know the best way to proceed. Any suggestions?A title company granted us title insurance on a construction loan we made on lots with no access.?
    I disagree with your contentions on the title insurer. The title firm insures clear and equitable title to the property. There are no guarantees in such a title that there is access to the property. There is landlocked property all over the place which has 'clear and equitable title'. I'm guessing that you bought these properties sight unseen yourself, and were salivating at a low price. Then snapped up what you thought was a bargain, to find that you bought a real pig.



    Contact an attorney if you think you have any possible redress.A title company granted us title insurance on a construction loan we made on lots with no access.?
    You need to have a consultation with a Real Estate Attorney.



    Best wishes and good luck.

    Current UFO sighting for South Californians?

    Well its May 6, 2010 and I am seeing what I believe is a UFO sighting. It has appeared several nights in a row and varies getting brighter or smaller (when being viewed on same night). I understand some may say that it has to do with the weather and such but I have viewed it with binoculars and it appears to have four lights and a little red one on the side. That is all I see so there is a possibility there is more or less. It is not a plane or other aircraft from here and it stays in the same spot but from hour disappears. If you don't believe it then please don't shun this info down but I just wanted to get this out there.



    If you want to keep an eye out for this shinning object, preferably with a telescope because I don't own one, I first saw it around 8:00 P.M. Living in South California, in the city Alhambra, look Northwest. So try looking North, towards where you would find the state of Washington on a map or literally would inevitably end up in Washington if you traveled forward for a really long time. I know not everyone lives near this area and if you Google Earth 2120 West Main Street, Alhambra, CA 91803; it should be west of that area (by the view you get on Google Earth).



    This has taken me a while to write because I keep getting distracted by someone who was viewing it with me. I just went outside and it's gone. Completely gone in the sense that there is no shinning object nearby the place where seen. Seen: around 8 P.M. Disappearance: 9:27 P.M. This doesn't mean it wasn't there longer or it moved further North. hopeful commentsCurrent UFO sighting for South Californians?
    Congratulations. You have discovered the planet Venus.



    It is Venus. What you saw as dots and a red light was scintillation and autokinesis. It will be there tomorrow, and the next day, and the next. Find a friend with a telescope to see it properly.
    thats kina scary i thought i saw one once at like 1 am in lexington mass. it was really low. is the one u see really low?Current UFO sighting for South Californians?
    For many years people have seen strange objects that defy explanation. In the 1800's in west Texas a rancher reported seeing lights out in the middle of the desert and thought it might have been some Apaches making a fire. He went out to investigate who or what that lights were but there was nothing out there. Even today the TV show "Unsolved mysteries" has sent reporters to that area and still they don't know what is causing the lights out in the desert. You can see them on youtube known worldwide as the Marfa Lights. So yes there are some things that defy explanation and I can believe such things exist. More than likely what you are seeing is the planet Venus.Current UFO sighting for South Californians?
    The planet Venus is a most likely explanation for your sighting. Don't be alarmed, many, many people have made the same mistake. Here is a site explaining how it happens:

    http://www.webmesh.co.uk/overlord/eye.ht鈥?/a>



    Otherwise these sites might contain the explanation:

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mirage

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aurora_(ast鈥?/a>

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noctilucent鈥?/a>



    There are heaps of fascinating lights and glows that originate from natural phenomena in the earth's atmosphere that we do not completely understand yet. If it wasn't Venus that you saw, then it may have been one of those other natural glows.



    Cheers!

    Did I see ghost? what was it?

    Back in Dec 1987 I know its a long time ago ... Anyway It was about 5am on the 2nd floor of a old house that over looked Pittsburgh on Spring Hill . The house is old so old that it had a entrance for coal in the front of it . The address is 907 Haslage Ave . My Grandfather lived on the first floor and my parents and I and my 2 other brothers were sleeping on the 2nd . Now our beds would of been in the living room if it was a seperate apt when you entered the 2nd floor. my bed on the right my other brother was on the left toward my parents bedroom and my 3rd brothers bed would of been opposite of mine in the center against the opposite wall of the apt door . There was a curtain on the window and everyone was sleeping when I awoke for whatever reason and i remember bumping the wall below the window . All of a sudden i seen a white glowing figure about 5 feet tall over my bed ( Im getting chills on my arms) I watched it for a second as it was at the bottom of the bed . It then moved towards my brother who was opposite of me really slow and it looked like it had a hat on of somekind a roundish hat . I know called for my mom as she was in the doorway seeing what i saw i yelled and as I did a ghostly figure past right through my mom as she stood in the door way and another figure from my end of the bed on the right and instantly they all instantly joined in the middle of the room and flashed through the doorway (and there was a glow around the doorframe) that took you downstairs to the firstfloor where my grandfather came out into the halway and had a flashlight and was teling us to go back to bed and turn out the lights . He also saw what we saw but thought it was the lights from his apt.



    Now since I was 5 back in 1975 or whatever year it was ive seen weird things in that house and being that little who would belive me. Ive seen weird lights on the ceiling no bigger then bottle cap lids that would be there night after night and my grandparents back in 75 would tell me that its a reflection from outside . Later on in life in the mid 80s before the 3 figure event that I talked about above I looked at the same ceiling same lights and there was no way that light could of got in . I got a ladder and climbed up to the ceiling and from the angles couldnt find a way to see anyway a reflection could of made it into the house to hit the ceiling at that angle.

    Growing up there being about 9 or 10 when id stay there on weekeends Id hear footsteps upstairs when it was only me my grandfather and grandmother . My grandmother past away in feb 1986 my parents and us moved back in with my grandfather in Aug 1986 also becase my dad got laid off in 1985 when we moved back. Anyway sometimes it would get cold in the attic and my grandmothers old victrola would play when there was no one up on the 3rd floor. my grandfather would say that its becuase the crank didnt finish unwinding or whatever . I thought otherwise. Im almost 40 now and on the 30th of march its my b-day and I still have dreams about that place and the surrounding area . sometimes the same dream sometimes i wake up scared and chilled / sweaty . ...can u help me ? What was it?....If u have Google Earth type in the address and put it on street view. you can contact me on yahoo at evile9669. tyDid I see ghost? what was it?
    Holy crap. Are those two ghosts in the windows or is it just me?
    make it shorter with a point plzDid I see ghost? what was it?
    I'm sorry dear, but nobody can tell you for sure what you saw in your old house 20 years ago.



    There are some who believe in ghosts, some who believe that our deceased relatives %26amp; loved ones check in on us from time to time from the spiritual plane, and some who believe that each of us have personal spirit guides...but to this day, there is still no generally agreed upon scientific proof of such things.Did I see ghost? what was it?
    Those are actually demons. Dont be tricked into talking to them or going into that lifestyle it always ends in hardship. Ask Jesus for help, use his name and then see how he works. Jesus is in control otherwise why do demons, so called ghost flee if they are so great?

    How did America get so big in such a short time?

    It amazes me.I mean like how did the city's get so big? Ive been looking on Google earth and it fascinates me just looking around on street view.I know that when the first colonists came to America they had allot of natural resources at their disposal.Was it just allot of hard work and determination?How did America get so big in such a short time?
    Discoveries that branch out and lead to other discoveries pretty much causes everything in the world to grow exponentially. Industrial revolution played a huge roll. Immigration as well! A large percentage of the US's population are people who either immigrated or their parents immigrated there.

    Also when money starts to get concentrated in one area people start to move towards the money in search for jobs, that's why city centers are always most densely populated.



    Also discoveries in engineering in construction allowed for skyscrapers / multi story buildings that aid in concentrating populations in smaller areas!
    Well, I'm not an American (I'm Dutch) but Americans have this thing about doing everything big or on a huge scale. Buildings, cars, motorbikes, construction projects, you name it, and they will challenge it, or if I may use the term, 'go for it'. Put short, they are (at least to me) a very ambitious and always have been. In a way, its a very challenging country where many have sought opportunity to mostly fail but at the same time become very wealthy. Americans have been heavily criticized on political issues around the world for continually doing wrong, to a point they have done wrong, based mostly on bad decisions etc, but this is nothing new, all Nations make mistakes, sometimes serious ones. But then again, only America has taken a lot of the risks to maintain peace around the world, this comes at great costs in terms of sacrifice, putting costs aside, these sacrifices are rarely ever mentioned but should be.
    If my historical memory serves me correct the purchase of the 'state of Louisiana' back in 1814 or 1834 (I'm unsure) added a staggering 827,0000 square miles of territory to the United States for a meager sum of around $US15,000,000. Mind you, it was a lot of money then, but still a very good deal. It was purchased from France, as the French were keen to use those funds to fight their next war. It shows true determination to have acquired that land and it could only have been the Americans to have pulled-it-off. To this date, and probably fore-ever after, this land purchase was the largest in real-estate history.How did America get so big in such a short time?
    America didn't change size, but yes, the cities have grown. That is the result of population growth - both natural and immigration. There is a difference between city buildings in Europe and in America, Unlike Europe, Americans can buy a plot of land, design the building they want and put it up, regardless of what surrounding buildings look like. Of course, if it is too outre, neighbors might complain and the building might have to be altered. In America, the building codes used to be concerned mainly with the safe construction of a building. The exterior was up to you. That's changing in many places.How did America get so big in such a short time?
    Freedom is the key. We had unlimited opportunities in the US. Governments did not interfere with progress. Natural resources help. But, look at Japan. It was basically flattened during WWII. The US introduced democratic and economic reforms, then turned the Japanese people loose. They never had any natural resources. They became a powerhouse in 50 years. It took the US about 500 years to develop.
    Simple answer an abundance of land, labour (labor) and capital as well as the industrial revolution and financial gains from WW1 and WW2. Excellent entrepeneurs like Andrew Carnegie and banks who lent money on the basis of good business models rather than titles like in the UK and yes more personal liberty and freedom.
    Hey it was exploitation all the way. Exploitation makes both human being and country big. They expoited many parts of the world mainly the red Indians

    Hard work, determination, and greed.
    Oh... I thought this was a pun.
    We do what we want. When we want.
    From the very outset at the establishment of the first English settlement in North America at Jamestown VA, the plan was to grow and expand as rapidly as possible.

    For the first few years Jamestown as a viable profit making company did not succeed. Then someone with a smart head on their shoulders planted hundreds of Virginia Tobacco plants. In England there was a fast growing market for this 'smoke weed' for cigars and pipes and also for the making of snuff.

    Result - all this tobacco made more than a fast buck for the Jamestown VA company - the profits just rolled in.

    Leaping forward a century or so and the British with their now thirteen colonies began forward planning, as you do. They began working out (estimating) how long it would take to fill the place up by the normal process of breeding (people getting married and having families). Slaves were not included in this calculation.

    However, the British quickly realised that if they were to succeed they would do the job faster and more easily by bringing in thousands of immigrants from Europe and beyond. Talent would flow freely into what now had become the United States of America - following a successful uprising and revolution - the purposes of which were expansion in a westerly direction.

    Cattle ranching and farming started the money flowing in - vast production of wheat/cereals and etc.
    Then industrialisation and etc.

    These next links I hope, will throw some light on the thinking behind how it would all work and become profitable.

    Let's look at it like this. People numbers are not a problem - but lack of people numbers is a problem. Only about one in 100 people has better than average intelligence. Therefore by constantly importing immigrants, sooner or later the place has 'brains' and lots of it.

    The most heavily populated place on Earth is down town Manhattan - it is also the richest place on Earth.

    USA got big by thinking big and expanding Westward.

    Behind it all is the powerful think of the English Levellers, who's influence still reigns supreme in the USA today after all this time.

    I, too have seen ghosts. I'll be right back with my story (I'm tired of writing it out as I get on here and answer ghost questions frequently) as soon as I can find it on another question.

    Here it is-Sorry, I answered this back at level two so it took me awhile to find.

    One time I was walking down the hall and then I looked into my atrium and there was a shadow person in the shape of a black trench coat floating there with no hands, legs, or head but it was fastened where the hands, waist and everything else should have been. However, where the eyes would have been on a person, there were red glowing eyes floating above the shadow person's coat. I locked "eyes" or whatever those were with it and then I got scared (I was 11 at the time) and ran back into the hallway only to come back and there to be nothing but thin air where it was. I have seen more but to tell the truth this was the best one. However, I've intercepted an EVP. Here is the explanation of what it is.



    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_鈥?/a>



    I was about to record the audio of something, and about 4 seconds before it plays, I hear a voice with a British accent whisper, "Stab skin them". It scars the hell out of me but I can't let something like that go. I could download it to my PC but there's no point since none of you know me, you could easily say it's fake but I don't blame you.

    I hope this helps in some way for you to realize you aren't alone.

    As for the dreams, I can only tell you to pray to God (the Christian God, because I am a Christian) That helped me when I was a young child and had a recurring dream that would have me waking up in tears, screaming and sleep paralysis. They went away after I started praying.Was it ghost that I saw ?
    thats sounds just like a ghost there are all kinds of ghost the ones you saw were nothing hurting anyone but they have mad ghost that hurt peopleWas it ghost that I saw ?
    It sounds to me that it's kind of an intelligent haunt. It sounds like the spirits you saw when you were younger were completely aware of the things around them and got spooked somewhat easily. It also sounds to me that your grandmother stayed with that house. It sounds to me that she was still there watching over you and your family. If you would like to talk more about this and learn more about the paranormal, my suggestion is to visit www.moonlitdreams.net. Blessed be

  • Is this house Victorian or Edwardian?

    I'm talking about my grandma's house. (I asked this question somewhere else and got 0 answers, so polls %26amp; surveys it the best for answers)

    I think it's late Victorian but my mum thinks it's Edwardian.

    Go to google earth and type in...

    18 Hull Street, Richmond, Victoria.

    The exact result is her house and look at the outside using the street view . Oh, yes, she's moved out of the house and it's empty now because it's very, very, very sadly getting knocked down in two weeks.. :(. Stalk her all you want, you won't find her!



    Anyway, the front of the house is double fronted, door in the middle, two single sash windows to either side, a veranda, tin roof and decorative architraves around the door and windows. The original house was four rooms and a hallway, an outdoor kitchen, bathroom, laundry and toilet.



    Walk through the front door, probably changed in the 60's to a porthole door, into an hallway. In the middle of the hallway, there is a hallway arch which looks victorian to me, not the wooden edwardian kind, similar to this one...

    http://www.gardeniahouse.com/p/arch.jpg



    On the left, you enter through a four panelled door (two top panels longer than the bottom), like this one...

    http://www.terracehousefactory.com.au/pr鈥?/a>



    ...into the main bedroom, with single sash window, vented ceiling rose, like this one...

    http://www.dunstoneplaster.com.au/PLASTE鈥?/a>



    ...and you can see where the chimney breast used to be, but all of them in the house were taken out in the 60's. It has no cornicing but has detailed skirting boards. Go back out of the hallway and turn right is another bedroom, same stuff, sash window, you can see where the chimney breast was, four panelled door and ceiling rose. Go down the hallway, turn left, another bedroom, sash window, four panelled door, old chimney breast, no cornicing and an un-vented ceiling rose. Turn back into the hallway and turn right into a living room, no cornicing, ceiling rose, no door, like the other rooms. Go back into the hallway and go to the end where an extension was added in the early 70's. My mum told me the kitchen, bathroom, laundry and toilet were all outside, if that helps. Then the extension connected the bathroom and kitchen to the main house.



    Nothing great about the extension, just a long room. Then there's the kitchen, which has a low ceiling height, and the bathroom which which is even shorter than the kitchen. Then outside, is the laundry which has an edwardian looking door and an old fireplace. There is the outside toilet which is just a toilet and a door made out of a few boards and nails.



    The whole house is built out of brick but has weatherboard at the front. It looks very similar to this house...

    http://www.realestate.com.au/property-ho鈥?/a>



    but with no cast iron.



    So what do you think?Is this house Victorian or Edwardian?
    Victorian.......!
