Enter your address. It freaks me out to know that ANYONE with $20USD can get a sat photo of anything.

Anyone know the address to the pentagon. I am sure the US gov wouldn't let stuff like that be available to anyone.

That kind of stuff has been around a long time (like ms's terra server).

The government restricts the resolution of the images from the sat.

Hmm.. I put in my adress and shit, and a picture came up of like 2 streets, where my house is a popular area.

[Despair*]

Didn't seem to work for me either. I was kinda hoping it would.

[GQBalla]

[mamajoe]

You gotta pay before it works i think.. otherwise it's a random picture

[cycosis]

i looked up calgary first and then found my house cause im right by the glenmore resevoir, can eporfetly see my house and then i searched where i work too. its crazy!

[nismodrifter]

um that link won't load on my pc so I have no idea what its about but I do have a pic of my house from a satelite...its not super zoomed in but you can definately see your home/landmarks around your house. i'll try and find the link..completely free too

Try looking up people you know in the states. It works better for them. I just find it kinda wierd that anyone can get it. Like even at the resolutions they give you, you can pretty much identify a vehicle.

I have a high res picture of medicine hat that i got from a friend. His dad worked for some geological company and they were using it for research. You can even see my dog in the back yard pretty clearly.

I was watching discovery and they were doing a program on satilite technology and they showed you could read the headline of a newspaper from space.

Pretty scary i think, that or a new wave of amature porn is coming!

You can get good pics of Calgary, just use the latitude and longitude values instead of the address.

Start with the airport: 51.10 and -114.02. Navigate to your area and zoom in. Simple.

I got it to work. I just put in a near-by town, and then followed a road. You cant zoom completely, only up to the top 4 I think, but I could still see my house distinctly.

[BumpinTalon]

oh shit my house is there... it even has my school!! haha

[cman]

i just typed in calgary then navigated manually to my house.
also found my cabin, and my parents hotel.
you can even see the roof of our vehicle out front

[BumpinTalon]

I had no idea there was this many farms in western Alberta, or that they were all oriented perfectly in line.

[illeagle]

i call photoshop

[BumpinTalon]

what, that I straightened out all the farms? hell no, click on the rocky mountains, zoom in once more, and then start moving east and you will see that.

Found my House...and local high school...to bad the pic is so old (2002)
