wow this is fricking cool. definitely found my replacement for every other map tool out there.

when I type in my work address it even brings up local businesses with that address (mine included). very cool.

the satellite image is like 7 years old. My house was built 2 years ago and it didn't show up on the satellite map. All I saw was a big open space

my SF Bay Area satellite map off of google is old as well, but not by 7 years. there's this new development in my area called Victoria By the Bay. The houses have been there for at least a year now, however the Satellie maps only show the plots and the roads right now.

The image of Lafayettet, LA is not nearly that old. It shows a school bus that was purchased by my company less than two years ago.

I have been using it for a while and it is great! Google deserves to label their stuff "Google Technology".

And now u can map using satellite imagery.
