Many of us thought Terra Server was cool.
Get a load of Google Earth.
This is great for travel ANYWHERE. It's free. Check it out. You won't be disappointed.

DH was playing around with it the other night. He said some areas in Washington D.C. are blacked out, like the White House. (security reasons obviously)

I tried to find the Magic Kingdom, but it looked like it might be blacked out. Could you please check it and confirm? Also, is there a way to sharpen images once you're zoomed in, or are they kept intentionally fuzzy for privacy reasons? TIA! Awesome sight! Thanks for posting the link!

I played with it a little.
I don't know how old those photos are, as there is a fairly new subdivision in my area (that is now almost 100% completed) and on the photos it just shows as being a cleared area ready for building.
I had a clear look at MK and Epcot. But MGM was fuzzy for me. And it was the same for me again.

Thanks, Luv2. I could find the EPCOT resorts, and I thought that MK was North and West of there? I guess I'm geographically challenged!

The website says that although the images are not in real time, they were taken within the last three years.

I am trying to see MK what do you do to get there?

I finally found it! Just type in Walt Disney World, Orlando, Florida. You can type in specific resorts too. I had a lot of fun playing with it, and also checked out Disneyland. Now I know why I always expect Space Mountain in WDW to be where the old Skyway to Fantasyland used to be! It's because in DL, that's where Space Mountain is! (I grew up in So Cal...)

I'm trying to be smarter than the computer, but why am I not seeing anything? I did the download, but now what? All I get is the screen with the previews and downloads on it. Help!

I tried and I think I know where it is located but there is a purply haze covering it and can't get in close enough

My husband thinks it is fantastic. Finally I can impress him with some computer stuff!!

Thanks
