Is there a website that shows satellite imagery and zooms in really close?

Q. I have been to google maps but i want something that can really zoom in close to a location. Is there any websites that can do this?

A. There is one call Window Live Local. It has a feature called bird eye view. It switches the view from the Satellite picture to one taken with aerial photography and you can change the angle of viewing. It's not available for all areas.

How often are the Google Maps satellite images updated?

Q. We've done quite a bit of renovations on our little farm and I'm curious when we'll get to see a change in the satellite view on Google Maps or Google Earth.

A. Google purchases the images from many different sources. Most of the images are purchased second hand - basically the images are not taken for the sole purpose of supplying them to Google. Most of the images are taken for completely different reasons and released to the public or sold to Google for extra profit.

Suggestion - your local government agency (county or city) should have a Geographic Information Sytems (GIS) department or division. They could be a great source of aerial photography.

I work for my local GIS division and we have images at 6" resolution taken in spring of 2008, 2007, 2006, 2003, 2001, and 1997.

Check with your local government - they will be the best source for updated imagery.
