I thought this was a real good, up to date site to get satellite imaging of anywhere in the U.S. I have been on other sites, and so far this has been the best. The BETS version is better than the OLD yahoo maps.
Just thought I would post it here too as I posted it in "your pictures", but this seemed a better spot.

GOOD LUCK TO ALL ON THIS UPCOMING SEASON, WHATEVER IT MAY BE!

I've been using Google Earth. This one is much better compared to the free google.

Very nice, thanks for posting

It got to be more then (5) years old if not older.

The bottom right of the screen has a 2006 copyright, I wonder?

That's the fastest satt. photo site I've seen. Thanks for sharing.

No good for me. Map is at least 8 years old at my farm. On-the-ground changes have been dramatic since then.

Still waiting for decent and recent images covering Hillsdale County. GoogleEarth is crap, terraserver is old (1999), and the NRCS offices' images are 1999 vintage also.

Yeah its nicer than google earth for sure, but also out dated it shows a clear cut where I hunt. That all has grown up. Infact it grew so much that I cut some of the trees down a couple years ago and have a planted field there now.

Maybe I'm not awake yet, but I didn't see a satellite section. :confused:

I moved into my house a year ago this past April and it had my house in there. By the looks of the construction, the photos were taken in august of 2004, which are the most recent that I've seen. I did noticew that some areas I looked at appeared to be older photos, but I have no way of knowing for sure.

I relly like it. In summer/fall of 2005 I was given a white Car. I had no use for it. So I parked on the street in front of my house. March of 2006 I Google earthed my house and saw it sitting in front of my House. I lived in Ypsi at the the time.
Now I am in TX. only going to be 96 down here and MI is supposed to have a Heat index of 114. Go figure!
