Google Earth Photos

Anybody have a good site to take photos around the US. Precision Striping said Google Earth but I have printed and looked at many parking lots and can't distinguish enough of the parking lot to give an estimate. I even printed the photo at the maximum resolution allowed but it still is fuzzy. Any suggestions? Some of the locations are 100's of miles away. Blaine

Google Earth does not have high resolution photos of the whole country. You might also try terraserver.com or maps.a9.com. If you can't see the detail you need when viewing on screen, then printing won't reveal any more detail. Most of the larger cities have high resolution, smaller cities may not.

Its risky using these undated photos, anyway. The properties may have changed since the photos were taken. And with the low resolution, you can't see all the details you need, anyway. I believe if its too far to go look at, its too far for me to go stripe, IMHO.

You might try the county web site where your job is located . A lot of county's have very good pictures. After all they have to keep track of your property improvements so they can tax you fairly?

The other programs give better resolution, but I sure like Google's measuring tool.

There is a new add-on for these forums to replace the map where you can click a user's pin and get the Google satellite image for the location, it sounds really cool but they warned it was still real "buggy" so I thought I would wait since I've been to busy to play with forum toys anyway. (reason I posted this in this thread is they noted even when it worked their were problems with poor image resolution sometimes and that was Google's fault, not the add-on)
