FC Posted February 18, 2006 Report Share Posted February 18, 2006 Satellite Images A bit tricky to use. The positive and negative vertical bar zooms you in and out. To go where you want you have to center where you want on the map before you click "+". Using the tab "hybrid" overlays state boudaries, cities, and streets. I found my house.

MorgansBoss Posted February 20, 2006 Report Share Posted February 20, 2006 Hope this works. The rectangle in the center of the photo - where the road make a 90 degree turn to the left and ends at the river - is my friend's "farm" in South Africa. That rectangle is 4500 acres. http://www.terraserver.com/imagery/image_g...=340&t=pan&dat= Alright! it did work. The faint lines seen in the photo are the "farm roads" around the property boarders. The river is the Mogol, a large tributary to the Limpopo of National Geographic fame. The larger whitish lines are actual roads. The one across the river is the main line to Botswana about forty miles away (at the Limpopo). The round dark green area seen in the upper right corner of the farm is the hill where I shot my Wildebeest. OK, enough, enough.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FC Posted February 20, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2006 Pretty amazing stuff, huh? OK, you can see Africa and I can't get small enough to see my father-in-law's place south of Lexington, KY. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
