Windows Live - satellite & arial photography

Google Earth is a program that seems to be the same thing as "windows live".

I think the images are more up to date as well. I know that the image of my house is only about 1-2 years old based on the car we have parked in the driveway.

I had googleEarth on my PC at work, and I just downloaded it on my laptop at home. The sat images for my house are the same on the Windows site and GoogleEarth. The difference is the interface - so much nicer to scroll around on google earth when each new page isnt coming across the internet.

I have to give WindowsLive extra credit for the aerial photography. Some of the photos in my area were shot in the fall, when the leaves were all full of color, and the images are excellent.

here is a shot of the NE corner of Irondequiote bay, NY - the area where I sail my hobie cat (a friend of mine lives in the white house in the upper left corner). BTW, this photo was not zoomed in all the way.



BTW - I just discovered if you switch the birds-eye-view from the default NS to EW their might be aerial photography in your area. I just did that and found the images of my home. Very cool!
