How do you see your house in Google Earth?

Answer 1

First try visiting the Google Maps website and enter your home address in the text box. Next, change the view to satellite or earth. The latter will run 'Google Earth' as a web browser plugin.

As of 2012, 75% of the world can see their house and neighborhood in high-resolution on Google Earth and Google Maps.

If you want the full desktop client Google Earth then you must first download & install it from google's website.

When you start Google Earth, simply type in your address in the "Fly To" box and press enter. Next check if Street View is available in your home area - drag the "pegman" on/near your house. See links below for details.

Answer 2

Enter your address into Search panel then press Enter. Google Earth will fly-to that address.

If you don't see the search panel then check Sidebaroption in View menu.

Next, if you're using Google Earth 6 then try dragging the orange "pegman" icon onto that map location to jump to Street View mode. This allows you to see high-resolution street level photographs of the area.

Answer 3

You can jump to your house by entering the address in the search tool in Google Earth. Once your house is located you can mouse over it to see the latitude/longitude coordinates in the status bar (which is located just below the map). If the status is not showing you can check that option in the View menu.
