Google Lets You View Your House From Space

POSTED: 2:02 pm CDT April 5, 2005

Online search engine leader Google has unveiled a new feature that will enable its users to zoom in on homes and businesses using satellite images.

The satellite maps could unnerve some people, even as the technology impresses others.

That's because the Keyhole technology is designed to provide close-up perspective of specific addresses.

Users at Google Maps can choose between either a traditional road-map graphic when looking up locations and directions, or use the space-based maps.

the link has the link to google maps. I looked up my address-- it looks like my neighborhood, but that satelite image is a couple of years old. There is a school not to far behind by neighborhood and it is not in the picutre.

Too cool - you can see my swimming pool and everything!

WTF... that's kinda scary.

It can't find my apt. complex. :(

I did pull up my office building and my parents' house -- definitely older pics!

The satellite picture has to be at least 2 years old. When I looked up my parents address, the house still had the old roof tiles (they changed the color of the roof).
Still pretty scary, though!

Well, I found frat row........

kinda freaky

:cool:

What could that do for stalkers? Sounds creepy to me. Nonetheless, I'm off to look for my house...

I looked up Stone Mountain (in Georgia) and saw the buildings on top!!

I hate the it won't zoom in more on some of the places I'd recognize. I can't really see anything.

The pictures are 3-4 years old.

Or at least they were for the OKC metro.

So cool. Make me feel I was back in Buffalo.

They definitely were for the UCF area. In the picture, the construction on the new Education building had just begun. The building has been finished since mid-2003 and I'm pretty sure they broke ground on it around the beginning/middle of 2002.

I could have sworn that there were other websites that allowed you to do the same thing.

Either way, you can't make out too much detail, either on my current home or my parents' house.

wow, that's cool! can't really see my house too well, though.
