Anybody know of any sites which have aerial or satellite photos of good resolution, and that lets you look for free? E.g., is there a federal govt page that offers that?
I’ve seen google, but now I’m curious if there is even higher resolution.
I’m in rural Michigan, so I understand that good coverage of my area may not really exists.
Your best bet might be to look at the various state gov’t agency sites. For instance, I know that most of Michigan (where your location says you reside) is available at the MDNR site. I use their resources quite frequently. You can download images in the Mr.SID format and view them with the free viewer available from lizardtech.com. These images are full color and about 3 meter resolution.
When Google first started their satellite maps a week or 2 ago, they had much higher resolution pictures. I was able to see a car in my driveway, and easily make out that the car was a minivan or SUV as opposed to a sedan. When I went back to show my wife, the higher resolution images were gone.
