TerraServer

[tree68]

Terraserver is the staple. The newcomer is maps.google.com. The photos are great when they have them down to the highest resolution. It is a bummer to be following a road or rail line and run out of high-resolution images...

You could also try Google Earth http://earth.google.com It is for people with highspeed only, you have to download a program and then it enables you to see a 3D image, You can tilt the view an basically look off to the horizon, really neat program.

I like it becaue I can find Roads that I could never find on a State map.
When I go Railfanning some time this Fall on the BNSF I will access this site to find the best places to get the best Train shots that I could have never know that they where ever their. Allan.

I think it is awsome, the detail is incredible. I just don't like that the urban areas photos cut off a quarter mile from my house. [V]

....TeraServer...It's the best. Have used it for years. Have looked at all kinds of sights via TeraServer. Some years ago we pulled out our house picture on it and with a resolution good enough to see the patio at the back of the house.

A lot of the urban areas have been updated with new pics... Check out EJ&E Joliet Yard.
