Technology is just amazing! Have you ever wanted to take a virtual tour of the neighborhood, see the locations of schools, shopping and transportation, identify the tax district, and get crime statistics? Well, the technology is out there from a company called Keyhole which is owned by Google.

With an Internet connection, users enter an address or other location information and Keyhole's software accesses the database and takes them to a digital image of that location on their computer screen. The interactive software then gives users many options, including the ability to zoom in from space-level to street-level, tilt and rotate the view or search for other information such as hotels, parks, ATMs or subways. Unlike traditional mapping technologies, Keyhole creates a dynamic 3D interface for geographic information.

We have added a satellite view of your playing fields to our site and District 2 has images of some of the other leagues on its site. Click here to visit the District 2 site.
