Google Earth actually is really cool. The only downside to it is the sateleittle images are a couple years old so its not up to date. Another problem is the images aren't all that clear in certain areas. Overall, since this is pretty much one of a kind to the average user its real cool.

FIrst you'll have to download "google earth" from http://earth.google.com/ and then the next requirement is that only some places of USA and UK are visible through satellite imagery. So this is not such a good idea......

Uptill now, Yahoo was best but recent introduction of Google Earth and Google Talk by Google has brought the Google ahead in the race. Although, this one, I mean, Yahoo! Answers may be a something new on Yahoo part but it is not expected to reveal such results as Google Earth has resulted in. Morover, with the introduction of more an more features in Yahoo Messenger, it has become less and less reliable so that it sometimes shows you online even if you are not really. So, as of now, I rate Google as better than Yahoo.

Google Earth's site has some recommended viewing.  I would also check out the Google Earth Community.  There are people on the message board who are always pointing out interesting finds.\n\nThere is a feature in Google Earth that displays spots that others have found interesting in their viewing of Google Earth.  On the left side of the Google Earth window, look under the Layers section.  Check the box that says Google Earth Community.  Little blue letter 'i' should appear on the image in the main pane.  Each of these is a point that someone found interesting.  Clicking on the 'i' will open a window that include "Click here for the post".  That will open a browser to information about the spot you clicked on.\n\nFinally, I have a personal recommendation:  The site of the Chernobyl Nuclear Plant disaster.  Enter 51.388427° 30.105016° into the Fly To box.

thats a very open question--what are you into??i could say peter north .com and you would probably hate me. or rotten.com would probably disgust you--i like kindgirls.com but im a guy--in general i think if you download google earth you would have fun zooming in on your next door neighbours house or anywhere else in the world.

Google earth is very useful if you have a relatively fast internet connection.  Just search "Google Earth" and download the free program.  You can then zoom in on whatever part of the globe you want to see.    \n\nIf you want a photograph from a rural area and/or don't want to download Google Earth I find the map option at Ask.com works well.  You don't have to download a program to see their maps and they have much higher resolution for most rural areas.  On the negative side the interface isn't as nice and it doesn't have all the cool extra features of Google Earth.  \n\nI'd recommend checking out both options to see which one you like more.

Some of the sattelites Google has been forced to use are quite old, but new imagery is being collected every day. Eventually there will be new high resolution pictures of the whole surface of the planet. I know a guy who is writing messages on his roof so he can see them in the sattelite pictures...he's kind of a nutjob.

I dont know if this would work, but you could download google earth and it shows satellite picture images of the earth.  You can type in an exact address such as you house and it will give a picture of the top of your house.  Its really interesting and useful.

Google Earth images have all been taken within the last three years.  Not all of the earth has been covered in high resolution images so some areas will be blurry.

This is the best I have ever used, plus it uses real satelite pictures: http://earth.google.com

you can do the google earth thing. or there are loads of maps online.  Also your county courthouse should have plat maps if that is what you need.  It would help if you explained what kind of map you are seeking.\nplat, terain, flood plain, general area, what magnifacation.\n\nI love google earth... I have lived in many locations and I found my old homes real easy and the detail is great... it is kinda slow tho.

earth.google.com... It is not exactly a web site, You need to down load a 9MB software. Using that software you can zoom to your house, if it is not too small or hidden by trees etc. Again when you pan and zoom, it connects to earth.google.com and gets dats from satellite images repository.\n\nThere are free, Google earth + and premium service (paid service) whic offer different resolution and real time pictures. Free version provides coarse and old data. The resolution is not good for all parts of the globe, only some places are captured with good resolution
