If you have a cable connection and a solid PC I highly suggest downloading this.

You can zoom in right on Arco and then zoom across the country and zoom in on a friends house in seconds.

Oh wow....thank you for sharing this Nebs...that is just absoultely fantastic...i can see places i never thought possible. Somehow i feel closer...:)
 
I have a 13 yr old home schooler in my house. This will come in handy during his earth science class this year. Thanks, nebs!!
 
I figured some of you would enjoy that. :)

I looked at Candlestick Park and there is an actual game being played when the photo was taken.
 
It was pretty cool but I couldnt find my house or my old house in Indiana.

Not to mention if I am "BUSY" do I really want some SAT taking pictures of me!

Forgot the name of the site, but there was some crazy "find a person" site posted on here a few months abck with ALL of your current and former addresses, phone numbers, and zoom in/out pictures of your home/apartments from orbit. Vaguely creepy.

A bit frightening. Shortly after it became publicly known, I had someone show up on my doorstep that I never wanted to see again. And I couldn't think of any other way this person found my address. Later it was confirmed that was the way they found me.
 
i checked it out, and based on the photos of the area around my brother-in-law's house, it looks like these satellite pics are a couple of years old.
 
Some pics are from 3 years ago. I was looking in the sunrise/gold river/ pyrites area and the new housing isn't there yet.

Take a look at Arco Arena.
