Check out Google's new satellite map feature. Go to http://maps.google.com/ and hit "satellite" in the upper right corner. Type in the town and state nearest to your riding area and start scrolling. Have fun....

 

Cool site Thanks

 

I've used sattellite photos to scan my future campsite and riding area. It can come in handy looking for obscure dunes and landmarks as well as trails. Pretty cool feature huh!

 

I like it. it would be cool if you could zoom a little closer.

 

I can't zoom close enough to do anygood out here in Wyoming. Cool site though.

Has older sat views and U.S. geological survey maps (airplane photos) Not spyworthy but you should be able to make out your houses providing they existed at the time of the photos.

 

You were only about 12 hours behind me putting the link up on the Polaris section. Stealer! LOL It is pretty neat stuff. I was looking up my old houses and fishing spots. If the water is not too deep you can even get an idea of under water terrain. Pretty usefull when your looking for high spots out in the ocean.

 

That Google site is pretty cool. I went to my old riding area (Sandlake) and zoomed in and I could actually see cars and ATV tracks in the sand! Some of the images are not as good though. I tried to get the same resolutioni from Florence and didnt have any luck.

 

the google site is so cool!! you can see the statue of liberty, where the twin towers was even cars going down the highway,and boats in the water----also the golden gate bridge in cali so cool!

 

why cant i see anything on the google site all i can see is a red x where the pics should be
