Anybody use terra server? I have for yrs now and is cool.For those not in the know, it is satelite images of the earth and you can keep zeroing in and find your house!

http://terraserver.microsoft.com/

 

thanks for the good link!!

 

thats a very scary thing... i dont want to give anyone ideas, but there are a lot of things you can see on there that you shouldnt be able to just go and look at...

its scary to thing that we have to spend millions on spy stuff to see things in other country, where as the -{insert name of enemy here} just needs to log into terra server, or global security.org to see plenty of nice targets

 

Most views are a few yrs old, and you cant see any military installations and this site is controlled by our government, no worry.

 

I've used that site and seen my house, my buddies, and "driven" all over the valley following the roads. Its really cool.

 

i'm not tryin to call you out, but i can clearly see my base, and where our nukes WERE stored when they were here. this picture was taken when we had them. there is no way Mr taliban woud ever get his hands on a nuke from an airforce base. they are veeerrry tightly gaurded at ALL times, but the thought is still disturbing.

 

Cool site.I found my house after I learned how to navigate the map.

 

You can also get similar and color images off of mapquest.com

 

I've been going there for about four years now. It's a great site; one that keeps ya thinking and looking.

 

Imagine what the Goverment can do with the current technology. Infrared scans and high powered digital scopes. I imagine it's pretty impressive stuff. I have a friend that works at a university that is currently digitally mapping the entire earths surface for geographic purposes, he tells me the equipment they are using (in conjunction with NASA's help) has the capsbility to read the label off of a cigarette butt from up in orbit.

 

When you locate your house using the address search, is there a way to "zoom" the picture. I found my house, but the image was very small, can you get even closer??

 

Too bad this seems to only work for those of ya in the US...Anyone know of a site that does Canada..??

It would be kinda neat to see my house from 300 mi. up...might even see me on the deck with a beer in hand...OK.! so what brand do I drink..??

Rgds,

Stk

 

Yea man, I've spent alot of time screwing off there. Well, before I go here thats is.

 

the only problem is that they are severely out dated photo's. I've been using terra for about 6 years now waiting for images to update.

 

Scary site.
