I used Street View to remember the name of this family restaurant in Munich I visited on vacation, where I met the owner - a really nice old German guy. I had a great time there, but the name of the restaurant is in German and I just can't commit it to long-term memory. I knew I took a right, and another right from the hotel and remember the style of the buildings nearby. I have the hotel reservation email, so I look up the restaurant every few years, just to reminisce. Last time I did that, there was a different restaurant in its place. I'd like to stay positive and think the old guy sold the restaurant and retired somewhere nice with his wife.

I worked in Kenya in 2000 for few years, & we used to go to a hotel in posh area of Nairobi for weekend getaways, on some weekends, for pool, food & relaxing. In 2015 I tried to look up Maps and Street View to see the hotel. All I remembered was that it was in a corner of a small roundabout, it had a pool in half arch & square joined, had a grass field & the entrances from street. Did not remember the street name, just the neighborhood name. I remember myself sweeping the Maps Satellite to find the pool, field in 2015 & many times after that, but no luck. Just yesterday I scanned the whole neighborhood, about 10kmx5km for pool torquoise spots in Satellite view, found my pool in 5 minutes, & then spent next 20 minutes walking around virtually in Street View as well as internal panoroma shots, was amazing to revisit while on being the poo seat. Also looked at various roads approaching to it, where we used to drive. Of course I starred the place in my list for future.
