Sometimes you can zoom in on sections where you can tell that the scans were done at very different times of the year. One time I looked up a location and it looked to be scanned around the summer, and right down the street, it was covered in snow :lol:

yeah, I was looking at my house and it looked like it was july or august (grass was kinda brown in spots) and when I went to look at the poconos they had snow on the slopes. granted not a lot of snow, but there shouldnt be any at all in august.

Some of Google's images are pretty old. The shot of my parent's house has no Camaro in the picture, so it was taken sometime before June 2003.

Live has the Camaro (on jackstands) and my brother's Malibu in the driveway, so it's at least a few years newer.

I tried going to the Live site, but it comes up as a search engine and doesn't give me maps. What am I missing?
