+m&h Posted October 13, 2012 Posted October 13, 2012 We found a mark today in Elma, Washington. Not a remarkable find in most ways, but it was fun to discover that it is visible in Google Earth's Street View. See our log for SY1403, R 479 Cheers, m&h Quote
+Harry Dolphin Posted October 13, 2012 Posted October 13, 2012 Okay. Took me a while to find one. Google Streets wants to put me on the overpass, not underneath. Here is KV0067 in Elizabeth, NJ. What a fun way to spend a few hours! KV0433 Staten Island. ConEd Building on Richmond Terrace. Quote
cesariojpn Posted October 13, 2012 Posted October 13, 2012 (edited) Oh, this should be fun! Google Street view is very helpful in some cases with marks. Do the ones I found already at least. TU0921 DL6069 & TU3023 TU3042 & TU0853 Heres what the two look like up close: And some that I tried to get on a vacation: Passed by this without knowing it when going elsewhere: TU0853 Attempted to photo this, but traffic was ridiculously bad and I didn't even attempt to cross. DI2801 I almost got arrested by the MP's from the base next door trying to take a picture of this one: TU0650(?) Edited October 13, 2012 by cesariojpn Quote
holograph Posted October 14, 2012 Posted October 14, 2012 What are the odds of catching a scene like this in Street View at one of your marks (KV2873)? Quote
cesariojpn Posted October 16, 2012 Posted October 16, 2012 What are the odds of catching a scene like this in Street View at one of your marks (KV2873)? About as rare as hen's teeth as seeing it in real life and using the BM to boot. (TU0865) Quote

+GeyserGuy1200 Posted November 15, 2012 Posted November 15, 2012 I've actually found DI2801 as mentioned in a previous post. Quote
+Gustav129 Posted December 6, 2012 Posted December 6, 2012 So you guys are saying I could log those even because I saw the picture? I enjoy seeing them myself. Quote
68-eldo Posted December 6, 2012 Posted December 6, 2012 In order to log a mark you need to be sure it is the mark you think it is. To do that you need to read any markings on the disk that tell you what it is. On GC there are a lot of logs of the reference marks or a different mark from the one that it is suppose to be. Street view is great for scoping out the location to compare with the description and to see if there is a place to get off the road etc. Any log made only from street view would be unreliable. Quote
