Google's **** is kinda old. Mapquest aerial has more current images and they zoom better. I can actually see myself on the lawn mower

googles street view is pretty new, at lest, there is a lot of new progress. Last i saw they had a small area of denver mapped, now the whole denver metropolitan area and surrounding cities are all mapped out. also google has redone a lot of thier satellite photo's, i now see my honda and mustang in my driveway

the streetview thing is freaky though, we are not talking satellite photo's were talking all the pics taken from the google vans, you can see everything from a first person perspective.

google earth has updated their satellite images, but only to a certain degree. I can see my big *** pool, and my neighbors pools. I can even see my red stang in the driveway, but only at a very high altitude. no real detailed images like some other places in my county. Some of them are in really good detail, others are just fuzzy looking. Cool stuff to do when you're bored..
