I have google earth downloaded and installed on my computer.. I have seen places on it that I wouldn't think you could see if it weren't satelite imaging.. maybe I am missing something though.Originally Posted by Crappie Reaper

Definitely Google mobiles. If you pan straight up you can see the clouds too. Surround imaging is the bomb! Sattelites are restricted to an aerial view only.

Regardless on how they do it, it's pretty cool. I looked up my addy and the picture of my house was taken sometime late last summer. I can tell because my project boat and my fiberglass were in the front yard. That was for about a two week period in July. Surprised it didn't catch me takin a whiz on the side of the house. I've seen one of the vehicles driving around before. I'm probably on candid camera somewhere.

it is pretty cool. You can use your keyboard arrows to "drive around" your neighborhood.
Sad, they google van caught an image of my neighbor, waving at the google van, who passed away last year of a stroke.

Simon Peter said to them, "I am going fishing." They said to him, "We are going with you also." They went out and immediately got into the boat, and that night they caught nothing.
And we act like this Nightstalking thing is new.
For some excitment, read the next verse. A special guest arrived, they filled their coolers and had a fish fry on the beach...in the morning. My kind of people.- Bowfin

The sensation is called "Street View" and complements Google Earth's satellite view. Most of the world's communities do not have a street view yet. Here is a part of a web forum about all this:
Using Street View in Google Earth | Google Earth Blog
And if you Google "Google Earth Street View" you will see lots more.
