Satellite photos?

[Vizeman]

Does anybody know if the website still exists where you can get aerial views of florida. I can remember last year finding our villa by zooming in.

Hope someone can provide this info. I would be able to do a "peter pan" for a sneak preview!!!!!!!

Marie.. just had a play and it worked fine... got a close up of houses around Splendid China ... put in a bonafide street name (eg " formosa gardens") and city ("kissimmee") and "fl" for state... works ok here...

l'll give it another go. l put in Vineland Avenue, Fl and it looked like it was going to do something but didn't LOL if that makes sense.

Cheers Mike

Got it Mike, just to impatient. Very cool

 

[Mike Jones]

... pretty cool eh? Going to have a major play with this when I get time! Anyone know the zip code of MK, AK, MGM etc?

Off back to beer and 'American Beauty'!

G'nite!

Hi Mike


I've just checked www.mapquest.com and its only the road maps that are showing at the moment - I'm not sure if they've taken the aerial views off completely or if they are maybe updating it?

The aerial view tab is alongside the street map tab - when it's working! - I've found 3 villas over the past few years using the aerial view and you can zoom in very close which is great.

I'm very sorry and disappointed that this is not working at the moment - honest I'm not making this up! there really is an aerial view facility, hopefully it'll be showing shortly.

Thanks helen! Fingers crossed, it may come back again!

I think you mean TerraServer - a project to demonstrate huge database systems.

Try http://terraserver-usa.com/famous.aspx - Disney World is on the page...

Thanks for noticing that the ariel photo facility has been taken off Mapquest - I've been going bonkers trying to find the ariel photo option - I definitely remember it being on the site last year because I printed the view of our villa off in colour.

Hi Martinius

Thanks for 'backing me up' on this one - people could have quite easily thought I was totally mad!!! lol

I emailed mapquest to ask if they are planning on bringing the aerial views back. I'll tell you when they send me a reply.

Okay, so they didn't give me much information. But they did give me a link to the site that provided the service:
