See your home from space

Go here:

http://terraserver-usa.com/default.aspx

Then click on your area of the globe that's available and keep zooming in. I was able to see my house. Kind of neat.

 

[A Can of Man]

Tried it.
Scary ain't it?

 

[Charge 7]

If you're in an urban area you can use the locater input and get right there immediately. I live in the boonies so unless you have an idea to begin with, it's harder to find me with it.

 

[LIPS]

Not bad but it only has the USA what about the rest of us????

 

[Xion]

Would be more fun if they allowed live satellite images and a little more zoom :lol:

 

[Charge 7]

Well, LIPS, it _is_ the USGS that runs the site. Perhaps there's an equivelant down under?

 

[AFSteliga]

That's pretty cool.

 

[SHERMAN]

no picsd of israel(unless im failing to operate it)...good!

 

[CDTGaticaW201]

You guys should try the Keyhole Trials...

It kills your computer, but it's basically a similar satellite photography program, however you can pan around the entire world and measure distances...I did a search on NYC and the zoom got to about 20 meters off the ground :shock:

Bah is this thing only American? All of Canada is blanked out!

 

[Canadian Sergeant]

Yeah, I found that one too. Maybe it is some ploy to let Canadians have less vital knowledge.......... you never know...

 

[Charge 7]

Here's a clue. The site is sponsored by the USGS. That's United States Geological Survey. We can't be the only country doing this. I should think Canada would have something similar.

 

[C/2nd Lt Robot]

That's cool, but not scary. Also one of my cousin’s friends has a program linked to a satellite that can show you the tiles and you can even see the color of them on the house.

 

[Canadian Sergeant]

Alrighty then, I am going to go and see if I can find a sat link for the Canadians out there.

 

[AlexKall]

Um, tried terranova.com? Worked for me here in Sweden

 

[chewie_nz]

I think this is not what we agreed.

 

[Canadian Sergeant]

What do you mean?

 

[Charge 7]

If you're responding to AlexKrall, Canadian Sergeant, terranova.com just brought up what looks like a Chilean lumber company to me but as I no habla Espaniol I can't really say.

If you're responding to Chewie, the fact that it's in red says it's a mod edit and not what he originally posted.
