How do you get live sattelite imagery? I had a friend say he got fired cuz his boss caught him using sattelite?
Q. I had a friend who said his boss caught him slacking off at work and fired him using sattelite imagery..LIVE..Now i dont know if thats true or not but what software out there does that? OR what website allows you to do that even if its for a fee?

A. There is no such a thing, it would be illegal. He probably means google earth or google maps?
I don't think there is a satellite that can take LIVE images, in the military they use UAV 's i think....

What time does Google maps take their satellite pictures?
Q. I want to know so i can be outside when they take it. No one in my county was outside when the picture was taken i want to know what time and what time of year the pictures are taken.
P.S. I live in Ohio in the USA
I really don't know what category this question would go in.

A. It's not because no one was outside when the picture was taken. It's because they use a strategy called composite satellite imagery. They take few pictures of the same place, and by referring to all the pictures they can identify all the moving objects such as clouds,vehicles,persons,animals,birds..etc and omit them to make the terrain data more clear.

If you were outside when the first picture was taken and you were not when the second picture was taken then their system identifies you as a moving object and will be erased.

If you are a Google earth lover you will also love this. It's "Nasa World Wind". It's totally free
