Ran a search and didn't see this site so forgive me if it's already been posted.

Either enter in your address or click and center. I saw how my old neighborhood's landsacpe has changed. Pretty cool!

Scott,

That is so cool - thanks for the link! I found my house w/o any problems whatsoever.

 

[Ron-P]

That is cool, thanks Scott.
Peace Out~

Yeah.. actually mapquest.com has the arial photo option from GlobeExplorer. I love it. I was able to zoom in on my old apartment in TX and see the swimming pool!

It was actually useful when we were looking for a house. You can plug in the address and actually see if the property is next door to a toxic waste dump or something before you actually drive across town to look at it.

My subdivision doesn't exist yet on the picture I found, and it's about 2 years old now. I wonder how old the pictures are.

Cool nevertheless though, it found the address right away!

Very cool. Found my house, but not too impressed with the photo quality. If I were to buy one of these prints, I hope it is better then what they show on the web site.

i'm not sure if some of the images are more recent than others, but the picture i checked is at least 10 years old.

As Darth Vader would say, "Impressive"

It was actually useful when we were looking for a house.

VERY USEFUL in this regard! When looking for houses, I and several other people I know have used satellite images to make certain the land we were buying had houses or the like surrounding it, and wasn't just vacant and begging for a huge strip mall or the like.

Cool. Image I saw was about 4-5 years old.

 

[Janna S]

Doesn't work for Anchorage. Too bad.

Now that's a trip, literally! Thanks for the link, Scott. I'll have some fun with that! I already pulled up my neighborhood. Wild stuff!

the photos are a few years old, pre 1997 I can tell (because of the big flood here, and new university buildings)
here's the airport I fly out of, you can read the runway #'s if you zoom in.

Philip, not all pictures are old. I put in 1 World Trade Center in New York, and you can clearly see ground zero. :frowning: I did this because I noticed that the picture of my office building is old, as it shows the building under construction. The building opened in December 2000. Some views are old, some aren't.

keith- I'm assuming the photos are the same or similar as what is on www.terraserver.com I guess it takes time to survey the whole world

 

[KeithH]

Philip, I've never checked terraserver.com. Thanks for the link. I'll definitely check it out.

 

[Jeff Pryor]

The pic of my house was about 2 years old.

 

[Matt Birchall]
