It's a really good program. I'd like it even more if they took close up pictures of where I live, not just of the neighboring city.

I can see the skylights on my parents' house.
Also, judging by the car placement in a couple parking lots, the Kenmore and Juanita area photos were taken in winter.

There are some areas that aren't scanned at high resolution.

Yeah, I realized that after I posted this. I tried it again and could see some areas that are highly detailed and some that weren't.

NASA's World Wind is similar, a little lower resolution, but offers a mutlitide of different hi-res imagery, like topographical data. It's also free:

Looks like my area was scanned about 5-10 years ago, judging by the lack of business development.

Baghdad was last year while I was there, found my base and even my HMMWV because of where it is parked.

Found my house, and I think Patti is sitting outside in the driveway!!!

I also noticed the outdated stuff too. There used to be a Domino's Pizza across the street from my house which was replaced by another local pizza chain about a year ago. This program still has it as Domino's.
