Use maps.google.com to find an address, and use the 'satellite' view and zoom in. For parts of the world, you can zoom right in to see individual homes and cars on the roads. Best resolution is probably about a 250-metre window (judging from the view of my street and house) Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/24668-google-earth/#findComment-112357 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black_Wolf Posted October 21, 2006 Author Share Posted October 21, 2006 Well do you have to know the address or road you are looking up? Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/24668-google-earth/#findComment-112359 Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildteen88 Posted October 21, 2006 Share Posted October 21, 2006 You can use the street name, zip/postal code or town/city or even the co-ordanates etc, if google earth finds a match it'll start to zoom in to that location. It is really kool stuff. I must of spent about 5 hours straight on it when I first got it.The images you see wont be recent they'll most probably be at least acouple of years old, however google does tend to update the images though. For me when I go to my house the picture that was taken was about 4-5 years ago. As my road was being resurfaced then.

redbullmarky Posted October 21, 2006 Share Posted October 21, 2006 the easiest, most exciting way to see the top of your house involves a case of beer and a stepladder. it's also up to date, too, as it's completely live.
