Good find Friction but I do have some problems with the pics
First if it was the same area you see where there is that bridge that runs across just before the building that looks like a car dealership. That isn't there, next the width between the nothingness and that building is greater then what is shown in the webcam shot. Because of that angle that can't be the same location. There is a huge field on the other side and the pic shows a building much closer when there is a field that stretches across before that. So the address is real, but now with these new pics, is Aventurine really there?



 
The webcam pics are from 2003. The satellite pic is obviously much later (google updated pics for my neck of the woods in 2008 for example). The footbridge was obviously built after the 2003 pics.
 
The building behind the field is WAY back in the background. Zoom out on the google map to see the building.
 
Here's the view angle.
 

 
Also notice that in the webcam pics you can see the roof of that building and the buildings all along that motorway are casting substantial shadows so the office building must be or a fairly substantial size too.

Yes that is a possibility that the foot bridge wasn't built till after the pics. Even with this is a fact, on my pic where I labeled this must be Aventurine would have to be the office then because of the angle of the shot. Would make more sense since that looks like an actual business, but then the address would be incorrect.

Admit it Friction you are having fun investigating all this xD. Brings some fun into those lame posting nights doesn't it?

Look at the shadows. All those buildings are substantial buildings. What you call a 'house' is obviously an office block.

Trammies need to stop polluting the MMORPG landscape. They already have enough games in which to emote hugs and sell garbage by the banks.

The building labeled at the address we specified a while ago can not be the building, #1 the angle is off like I said. #2 if you take a look at the shot, it is shot from the window cause you can see a reflection from the inside and thus this proves any kind of zoom theory. From the angle shot it would have to be exactly the other building I labeled.

Anyway back on topic the building labeled at the address we specified a while ago can not be the building, #1 the angle is off like I said.

 

No it's not. The view angle matches perfectly.

What "zoom theory"? It's obviously a typical view angle for a webcam.

 


From the angle shot it would have to be exactly the other building I labeled.


 

Check out the green view line I drew from your proposed location for Aventurine. It bisects two corners of that building (marked in green). Do the same with the webcam pic and it DOESN'T point to the viewer.

Owned by post #36. Go math!

Wrong again, look at the shot it is from the street, the angle you use could not be possible in that shot, thus this new pic would be the exact perfect view.

Math doesn't do shit for you when you pick the wrong damn vantage point.

So you're now arguing that Aventurine DOES have an office on Kiffisias Avenue within a hundred yards of where google maps reckons it is?

 

...

 

Let me just re-read the opening post again.

 

lol

Don't change the subject now, I just showed you exactly how the pic intersects you know I'm right now. There is no possible way the address specified is the building, because of the distance from the building in a pic, I would be glad to prove this to you math wise and distance leaps if you wish but I figure you could see that just by the pic. Let me know.
