Need info on a location on Google Maps.

Asked by jtvoar16 (2171points) July 24th, 2008

I am writing a game script for D20 Modern (4th edition rules) and have placed a rather vile villain on The Island of Man near the coast of the Wester shore and the Calf of Man in a building I saw on Google Maps. I have no idea what this building is, why it is there, or what it is. I just know I like the position of the building for the purpose of my game world.

My question is if there is a way of “reverse look-up” in Google Maps, or if there is some way, save for calling the Island of Man Town Hall, that I can find out more about this place (i.e. it’s name mainly, what its purpose is, and maybe a photo of the front of the building.)

I am obsessed with details and the term “anal” doesn’t even come close to describing how anal I am. So if I am going to use a real world location in one of my novels or game scripts, I like to have the name of the place right, at least.
