cwolfe98-I am glad you ask that question as I thought it was just me and didn't want to reveal my ignorance.

I was checking this out earlier today. Interesting that as I zoomed to get closer to my house, my house was not there. Just showed the land before the house was put in. Must be a series of pictures taken in different years.

If your house was built in the last few years I won't show up. It takes a while to process and publish the info. You know the pace of the government. There are sat photos published real time, but they're subscription based and probably way to expensive. I haven't looked into it though, just remember the sat photos from CNN about 911.

It was there until I zoomed in as close as it would go, then gone! Interesting, must be what you said about process and publishing. I just wanted to see if my garden could be seen from space so I could show davey7549 in his garden 2003 thread.
