I punched in my address, zoomed in, then hit the "satellite" function. Yowza. Even punched in my folks place in Delaware. Satellite. So we DID plant that Christmas tree in the neighbor's lawn!

Decided to have a bit of fun -

It's fun to look for big stuff like the Statue of Liberty

Google satellites says I live on dirt! They haven't even started buildling the houses yet, these satellite photos has got to be several years old atleast 3yrs.

Yeah, I loooooove the fact that Google brought back the satellite views. Mapquest and Yahoo, eat your heart out!

Why is it that I keep getting grey boxes where satellite images aren't loading properly? Is the server overloaded?

My boxes went away when I switched from Firefox to IE (arg). Try that. Or it could be just a server thing.

Yea, the satellite view is indeed wicked awesome! The pics are pretty old, though, as the pics of my work is really out of date. I'm guessing about 5 years old or so.

Definately not current, I can't get in too close but my house appears to be a nice green field, no hint of the home at all and at this time of year the fields surrounding us would either be snow covered or redish mud.

I looked at my street and some modifications that were made late last fall were there. Looks like there is no set time for getting updated images.

Freakin Google scores again! Google maps have already made mapquest at thing of the past in my mind. Especially the ability to scroll around a map with the cursor.

I did my satellite view of my home. Dead on accurate. Scary!
