Fun with surveillance satellites.

phamos818 posted a link to TerraServer, which gives aerial photos and topographical maps for addresses, places, and two types of coordinates (decimal degrees and DMS). Sorry Brits, it's currently for the United States only

Sorry Brits, it's currently for the United States only.

Have you also checked http://www.terraserver.com/ instead of just http://www.terraserver-usa.com/

No, because I'm an idiot.

However, even though the main TerraServer site can do some specific places and general city-wide aerial images for international locations, it still says they can't do anything other than US addresses or coodinates.

They say that imagery for 'England, Wales and parts of Scotland' are coming soon.

So, what about this?

As I mentioned in my previous comment, those are general city-wide images. I can't put in an address (such as for any of the flats I've lived in here) and get a pinpointed aerial view of it and the surrounding area on TerraServer yet, although they said it's forthcoming in the 'coming soon' link I gave.

Is that more clear?

Hello you. Commenting to show you i read your posts! But nothing to say because sometimes I am just not very interesting xxx

[narnee]

I know you read my posts, but thank you for the reassurance... it means a lot to me.

And you are always interesting! :>

How odd - I was just thinking this morning about Terra Server. I had seen it years ago, but couldn't remember the site, and wasn't sure if it was still operational. I go to lunch, and VOILA! Ask and I shall receive?!?

Thanks!
