    I can't see my house but I can see where I work.

    I can see my old house, but not my new one. The pictures they use are out of date.

    Some areas are covered in better detail than others per the FAQ found at that website.

    Try looking at some place like Paris. Check out to Eiffle Tower!

    There are times when you can actually see people on the streets.

    Truly amazing.

    Amazing all right - I saw a report o the news last night showing American bases in Iraq in detail with the ability to mesure exact distance from a target like a helocopter, to a hidden place some distance away.

    Such distances can be used to effectively aim a mortar that does not fire in line of sight.

    Something wrong here...

    But the photos are not real time. They may be up to 3 yeats old. So in that case, it might not be that much help.

    If you rotate the view it helps with reducing shadows. I was able to see my boyfriend's truck outside the house! Not many rural areas that are clear either.
