See a picture of your house online via satellite. Wow.

What a COOL site! You enter your address and it zooms in on your house with the pictures their satellites take every hour. Blurrier the more you zoom in, but nonetheless I can make out my house! I find that the Java viewer is easier to use...give it a shot.

Big Brother...

[Spoooon]

That is badass!

 

[Jumpem]

Hey it just shows a blurry big picture for me and won't let me zoom in. It just keeps reloading the same picture? Any clues guys? Thanks!

[kami]

Cool. A shame it doesn't zoom in very far. I found my street, but I can't make out my house.

Edit: Apparently I'm not the only person, but the help file doesn't mention anything about it. I tried Auckland, New Zealand and I could zoom in to where the roof of a building would take up the entire image.

Wow, I saw my school pretty well and finally figured out that there are 2 rooves, unlike the one I thought there was.

 

[RossGr]

Ummm... Cool there must be a huge time warp happening that photo of my neighborhood is at least 3 and maybe 5 yrs old. Either that, or that new developement has been sucked into a black hole! (I wish). Not even clear to me that this is a satalite photo, could be from a plane.

Do a search on terraserver, that is a similar site.

 

[LOWDRAG]

how old are these pictures....they damn sure arnt 2000 like it says. there should be a brand new house in front of mine that isnt there, it was put up in February?????????
Oh sheet , maby the house is gone, i better go check!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

no, seriously that site is cool but the pic's are old, how old?

 

[Passions]

[yakko]

That is cool.

 

[prodigy]

Cool stuff.

 

[Imported]

Cool.. Now I'm just worried about what else other satellites are able to see..

 

[The Wildcard]

Holy crap that is so clear!!!! Yikes....i have to remember not to look up anymore, lol.

 

[The Wildcard]

Hmm it doesn't seem to be really recent, atleast 1-2 years off. but hey it's free, lol.

 

[GT1999]

Nice.. just outdated a bit when you zoom in it looks like..

 

[konichiwa]

I don't know what you guys are talking about...I can see my neighbor's Halloween decorations in their yard! So my pictures can't be more than 3 weeks old...:Q

You sure they aren't his decorations from 3 years ago?

 

[Josh]

[Total Refected Power]
