OT.....Google Earth

[harleyman]

Ok..So I found my house with Google earth.....

But its not such a good image...I have seen many post theirs here that are clear and crisp...

Is there something that I am doing wrong, or do I have the wrong thing???

Thanks...

Depends on the coverage area for Hi-Res imagery. You could be right across the line that divides the hi res from the "not so hi res". It all depends on where that line occurs. That's why a lot of the airports I'd like to do aren't done, because the imagery available doesn't fall in an area that's hi res.

Actually that shot doesn't look all that bad.

Hi All,

Yes, most any address can be found. Pretty scary if someone wanted to get you.

WOW, Kinda scary I can see my bedroom window and car in birds-eye view!

I am thrilled though as I have some scenery projects that might benefit from this, hmmmmm
