Never knew until today that Mapquest offers aerial photos of addresses you search for. You can even get hardcopies by mail.

yeah i have looked at my house a couple of times.

Hummm,
start advertising with your roof tops I guess...

DAMNN,, i can see my house

:eek7

Wow..that's almost scary.. Hmm wonder if they would have my address available for that...

Where is the link for that on MapQuest?

I love webmasters!:1orglaugh

wow that is a little scary,I wonder how old the pics are because my grandmothers property looks totally different... The picture of my house is of the lot before they cleared it lol

haha... that's some hot shit

Mapquest says my address doesn't exist - I guess that's what I get for having the only house on my street :( How do you get to the aerial photo? I'm going to see if my neighbor's shows mine!:thumbsup Maybe they don't offer that option for those of out in the boonies.

Added - that's it - I went to an old address and found the link for the aerial view - oh well - I'll just have to wait until they're brave enough to fly up here :1orglaugh

After you get the street map there's a tab at the top of the map to look at the aerial.

ahh my address doesn't have that aerial option. or atleast i don't see it.

your house is fucking huge . . . . you have maids quarters or something?

Cool. I'll be over in a few hours to rob you.

I used to check this site out alot, it's changed a bunch in the last 5 years.

No aerial option for me either. Whydont they take pics of Canada!

come on over

ahahaha, i'd love to see some GFY photoshop gurus to have fun with that pic :Graucho

Arials have been available from http://terraserver.microsoft.com for some time now. From their homepage:

Only for the US though.

shit. No Canada.

One other thing, in the US, most County Assessor's and Surveyor's offices use arial imagery, and you can get prints from them inexpensively.

That's cool but you know what's REALLY WEIRD?

Having a guy come up to your door with a really nice, framed arial picture of your house and try to sell it to you for $200!

He said they get people buying custom shoots of churches and stuff and they just randomly take pictures of neat looking houses, then track them down and try to sell them!

I thought that was one of the weirdest things I'd ever heard. But I bought it.

almost every large farmer I know has one. Very common around here.

It's so easy to be a stalker these days.

I'm actually working on something I wrote that uses orthophotos... but with more detail- .5meter per pixel 32bit color.

I'll show you all when it's online again.

LOL!

DH

SPAMMER!

Yea it is soo cool i used it to find where my Ex-Girlfriend lived when she decided to dump me


Very informative

You didn't know where she lived when you were dating? Then it wasn't your girlfriend! :)

That's called Stalking!

yup, creepy. I just looked at my parent's house. Okay it is a hot from 1999 but that makes it even creepier because it looks like how I remember it. It is a bit like that scene in Men in Black when Tommy Lee Jones is caught spying down on his wife. Atleast I couldn't get close enough to see if they happened to be standing outside when it was taken.

My house, except the cover is on the pool now.
