That's nice, but keep in mind that it's a large city, and there tend to be more detailed photos available for "areas of interest" like that. In fact, there's a list of cities for which high-res images are available: http://www.keyhole.com/body.php?c=popup&h=home&t=faqHome#seeMyHouse

Also note that it says "USA cities are updated every two to three years on average," so the images still aren't current. :p


US is the only country which has high def pics. All other countries look bad when you zoom in.

I like looking at the white house :P

The Netherlands has one high def pic, it's the center of Amsterdam :-)

Sandly, my house is just out of the high-def area :(

RE: satallite photos
I saw a cool site a few years ago, you colud fly over the entire Netherlands in sattelite photo's. It was Java Applet based and very cool. They had USA in their database too.

Not that much detail, but enoug to find my own house and follow the train rails and some streets to my friend's house which lives a few cities away. Can't remember URL anymore, not even sure it still exsists :s.

It was something like http://www.terrafly.com/ maybe it is even the same, but can't find the Netherlands on their site :(.

EDIT: Found it! http://www.terradesk.nl/ (IE only / ActiveX instead of JavaApplet, but sure fun for Dutchies)

Well no, and the images are - as said - not current. They are a few years old.
