Could someone please go to google maps and do a search for 30.783517,-90.444883 and tell me what they find.
I have the lat/long option turned on and I need to see if someone without that option turned on would be able to find the same building.
Thanks
I see a 1 story brick house with a hotmix drive off of 1054 in Amite, LA
That would be it, thanks.
The front door of a brick home with a log building across the street. Oops, that was with Google Earth.
Yer golf course needs water.... 🙂

This is what I got from a direct cut & paste from your post
It doesn't seem to be what the others got.
Granted mine is from Google Earth, but why is there a difference? 
Carl,
Your picture is what I was looking for, from Googlemaps.com
Maybe a different datum in google earth?
I did use google earth.
The picture posted a few slots above is the next house to the north.
interesting....
I just checked it against usaphotomaps and got the correct house.
Two sources agree with google earth falling about 600' to the north.

Peter,
I don't think this is right. Plug the Lat/Long back in and look for a green arrow on the next house to the south. Now, I don't know why they have 2 different markers, but they do. If you'll notice, the Lat/Long coord's on your screen cap do not match Dan's either.
I'll surely keep that in my memory banks for the future.
Peter
yup! my bad
the error was mine... I clipped the wrong area

gottcha
Google uses a SPHERICAL Earth !!!
Depending on which photograph is used for coverage, the center of the photo will be in a different place, thus offsetting the coordinates of all objects viewed on that non-orthophoto image. It's a by-guess-by-golly aid, not a precision tool.
Sometimes it's close, sometimes it's not.
Kinda like that candy bar.
