Aerial Photos of Any Address!

My daughter found this awesome website with aerial satellite photos of any address in the US...at least it had every address I filled in! Find your home!

It didn't work for my address! We just built a house, though, on a new street. Our mailman has trouble finding us, too.

Wow, that was really cool! Thanks! We have moved a lot and I checked quite a few of our old addresses.

Jocelyn, try putting in an established address nearby. You can then recenter and zoom out but I'm thinking you'll get a photo from before your street was built...which would be cool too though, wouldn't it?

type in "keyhole" in goggle and download the free trial of keyhole 2LT.
Same satellite photos, however you can get down closer in some areas with awesome resolution. You can tilt the view, rotate 360 degrees, "fly". Pretty neat to play with, however you only get a week free trial. Will cost $ to continue.

This has been around for awhile. It is interesting though! My computer geek kids showed it to me a few years ago.

My home was built on a new cud-de-sac street in '97...must have been just before the pics were taken. They haven't been updated since.

Presently, there are serveral other new homes (some 5 or more years) which are NOT in the picture. Belle

I put in my address and it showed the fruit orchards that use to be on the land where I now live.
