Pick out your house from the Google map and click on the sattelite link.

Map to Google

Put in your street address and zipcode & that's it.

(I could see the new brick planter in my neighbor's yard...:camera:

Would like a higher zoom - presumably it will be available for a fee?

The zoom and pan (move / drag) work really very, very sweet and fast.

Just scrolling around photo tiles, but even so, could quickly zip through the whole town / region.

Very, Very nice!

it is sweet, especially the way it let's you scroll around fairly quickly.

the images are kinda old (at least in my area). I think at least 2-3 years.

SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET.....

Best available over the web free satellite images. Scrolling through and switching back and forth between map and satelline is awesome.

Pretty cool. Kinda wish they would zoom in a tad more in my area, it is the sticks, but it looks all the same :(

If you think that's cool, check out this program:

Note: Better have an NVidia graphics card if you want to run this!

That's basically like Nasa's WorldView program they had available for free download.
