Birds Eye View

View of my apartment from 2000 ft. above the ground. It just isnt safe to walk around my apartment in my boxers anymore!


Birds Eye View

This image was obtained using the keyhole software, which google acquired lately.

Prediction: In a few months you will be able to enter an address into the google search bar and get a satellite image of the location. Satellite images of Indian territory will be off the air due to a certain government regulation that prohibits creating an exact map or satellite image upto a certain level of detail.

Update: True to my prediction, Satellite imagery was added to maps.google.com. http://www.betanews.com/article/Google_Adds_Satellite_Imagery_to_Maps/1112671379

Whats better is the ability to get directions entirely based off satellite images...Google never ceases to amaze.
