Try these, although terraserver is probably just as good unless you live in one of the hi-res area's. Terraserver is nice for mapping out big<br />lakes as the rock shoals and creeks don't change<br />much over time. If you process the images as negatives using something like photoshop you can get a really nice idea of where underwater stream and river deltas and runouts are as well as shoals and rockpiles.<br /><br /><br />www.keyhole.com Free trial period. Subscription.<br />Has some nice detail images if your in a hi-res<br />coverage area. Not much boondock coverage at hi-<br />res though.<br /><br />www.GlobeXplorer.com USes same photo base as Terraserver except covers images with watermark.<br />Bleck.<br /><br />Have fun.

Just let's you zoom in so far though as a freebie.<br />I like the world wind one, you can zoom in and see the people on the streets.

sbn, you got to teach me how to use it, I can zoom in to see an area from 3km up and when I zoom in closer it is blur. How can you make the image sharper? I read the instruction and still cannot get it. Any help is appreciated. Thanks

beezee, which platform are you using on it?<br />topo, digital, urban, which one?

SBN, I was using the USGS 1m digital ortho but as it zoom in it is very blur. I was looking at Galveston area and all I can see is (I think) Houston area. I was using the USGS Urban Area Ortho and the rest of the surrounding area is blank pale green block. The area that I can see in Houston I can zoom down to an attitute of 140m which is quite amazing and quite clear, though I can see the car but not people. Any help is appreciated
