Try MSN Virtual Earth also. I find sometimes one area is clearer on one then the other. I like it to scout new areas, but sometimes, at least here in New England, it shows roads that are little more then goat paths.

Good luck.

it works well for my house hunting stand i can see the lanes i cut and even my stand

Its my understanding that certain areas of the Earth havnt been updated at all and the "blury" areas are from the outside of the camera edges. like the edges of pictures not in full focus. NEway thats what i have been brought to understand. Also there are lots of areas not yet been scanned by the satellite.

Google earth kicks ass its the best for checkin different distances and measurin valleys and the 3-d feature in the mountains is cool too.

We paid for the 20.00 upgrade.Don't waste your money..it's no better. I do love it for fishing. I fish in huge pits where there esier LOT'S of islands.It helps me manuver through the islands. If you rthinking about moving it also breaks th ecrime stats down to see your percentage of getting killed or raped.[8D]

I like this site to but I think its free because my neighbors house was built in 89 and its not on there. old pics, but good.

The 20 dollar upgrade is cool. I interface my GPS with it and download waypoints and tracks. I print and make my own little maps.

http://www.terraserver.com/ CHECK THAT OUT. IT GIVES YOU REAL IMAGES.

Hotburn--I think some areas on www.local.live.com are relatively new because it has all of our yard renovations/new garage and we did all that only like 3/4 years ago. maybe some areas are newer than others.

Yea some parts are not updates, but some are, it showed my dad's new truck parked outside of our house which he got last spring.
