View Full Version : Aerial Picture of Your Home

So there's this cool site called TerraServer 6.0 (http://terraserver.microsoft.com/) where you can find an aerial view of your house. An idea popped into my head, why don't you people of AP find your address in the TerraServer and show us some aerial pictures of your house! The only problem is I think the majority of the aerial pictures date back to 1998, so they're kind of old. Anywho, have fun!

Here's mine!

Whoa that is awesome. I'd post mine, but these pictures were taken before my house was even built.

This is way before my house was built, and by the looks of it, before a lot of houses were built where I live. Here you go:

Sometimes the pins are in the wrong place though, because I did it for my roommates house and the pin was down and across the street from where her house really is...lol
