Anyone have the link to satellite photos of earth and water, think it was a gov site. You could see the waterways, and the deeper holes in the shallow water?
Clanton, here's some really neat satellite imaging. The Living Earth by Earth Imaging , and http:/grin.hq.nasa.gov The first one is really neat and fun to follow. nevjb
I use www.mapquest.com and select the aerial photo view. Map Quest is free and the aerial views are in color . You can see different shades in the water. I have zoomed in on my home and can clearly see the swimming pool and driveway. MapQuest
Hey Jim in Orlando, you're right. I really can see the pool and driveway at your house. What kind of boat is that parked in your drive? The color on MapQuest does make a difference.
I like the 'placemark' feature. I put down marks and notes about fishing spots.
I also like to search for hidden fishing spots. Although the imagery is a few months up to a year old so sometimes you'll pull up to a nice pond/lake and there's houses being built now.
I like microsoft's site the best. Just google "live local" and it will come up. I find that there Ariel pics are of a slightly higher quality than google or mapquest.
P.S. I can't believe I just raved about a Microsoft product.
