View from 35785 km above 0�N 0�W
By panning and zooming, I found where I live! The resolution is pretty bad once you zoom in closer than about 50 km, but if you can find where you live, post a link to the final image.
Here's Clovis: View from 49 km above 34�33'N 103�35'W.
Clovis is the brighter of the two dots near the center of the map. Cannon AFB is the lesser light just to the left, while Portales is the one just below the pair. The two bright concentrations to the right are Amarillo (above) and Lubbock (Below) Texas, each of which is approximately 100 miles away from here.

Oh, that simplifies things a lot! They don't even have where I live in their database. If you look carefully, you'll notice that they have only a tiny fraction of the Earth's surface mapped. If you can find your house, good for you, but I can't even find the town I live in. Why? It's not in their map files.

We're somewhere in there, but I can't find our house even in just a 35000 pop town.. christ.
They don't have Pine Gap on there either - the US base out in the desert here in Australia...

The actual location of Area 51 is...
Hmmm... There's a black sedan parked outside and two gentlemen wearing black business suits are approaching my front door. I'll be right back.
You never saw this post. You will forget that Area 51 could possibly be anywhere except the state of Nevada. Go about your business.

found my current neighborhood (not high enough resolution to make out my exact apartment), my current place of employment [wishing for Desert Storm-style graphics to flash up on screen showing in-bound missiles], plus my old high school, where I used to live way back then, where SHE used to live...
okay, Microsoft, now build a timemachine, you bastards
IF you can find it. It would be one of the very small dots.

btw: They missed my house by less than 200 meters...
I live about 150 meters below-left of the big white dot at the edge of the map. And yes, that is the shoreline in the top-left.

There's NB. I'd be somewhere under that blue spot and above the Bay of Fundy. Garak would be to the west of that blue spot and south.
