    Default Fantastic maps!-better than Google Earth!

    Good buddy Jeremy (jkurtz) emailed this site to me. Once you get the area you want to see, use the "bird's eye view". I never saw detail like this on Google Earth, & if you are looking for new pond/water possibilities in your area, this will sure help... http://maps.live.com/
    Outstanding!!...Thanks Jeremy!!!

    Tuber,

    Thanks for that link. Very good maps, great detail. pretty up-to-date as well. It shows a wash out on one of my favorite rivers that occured during the spring run off, not more than two months old. Very nice.

    Nice, we have been house shopping and the Google immages of shelton Wa are very unclear, these are much better.

    I've used Live Search for a while and the images are much clearer. I've found that both Live Search and Google Maps can be fairly tempermental if you don't have the name of what you're searching for exactly correct.

    Tuber, I noticed that your grass in the back yard was getting a bit long, maybe you should cut it instead of fishing this Saturday...

    I looked at my house and it is the same photo as google earth has. It shows a boat on the river doing the same turn I see on google earth. I also cannot get as close in as on GE.

    I checked my local area, and the aerial photo looks a lot like the 2005 1 meter NAIP imagery I already have. Projects I did in May 07 are not on the photos. GE has a winter photo for this particular place, so it is a change, but..

    Then again I don't need an umpteen thousand dollar GIS program to look at the maps.live stuff...

    PS Mikey, I thought that was just a really ugly cat, didn't know you had a goat.
