Enter an address and then zoom in and you probably find what you are looking for. I entered 05751 and got to see Killington and even spotted my condo. Cool tool.

Edit: Select Satellite to see what I am talking about.

Not accurate for my area, but much newer than the past USGS views I have seen.

Don't need no satellite!

My neighborhood:

Also, you can see Mrs G's old place in the upper left corner.

Doesn't work very well in satellite mode for me. I'm too close to the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard where they re-fuel nuclear submarines. It won't let me zoom since those higher resolution image files are not distributed to the public.

It worked well for Killington. I was able to see the Glazebrook complex pretty well. The trails though are all green so the pictures must have been taken in the summer.

That is cool. My address comes up but what's funny is that this must be an old pic 'cause there's still holes in the ground. This is a brand new complex and they have two sections with holes in the ground (one being my section), the other part of the complex is just barren land.

Cool Ty, I spotted our Condo, with the Golf course in the background.
Also saw the pool. Pictures were surprisingly crisp.

In my home neighborhood, I found our house, but the pictures are at least 2 years old, cuz some of my neighbors have pools now!!

Yeah my co-worker noticed that the pictures are few years old but it is still cool to find places that way.

Good stuff TY. Put in Mt Green and took me right to the building. Golf course out back.

That is way cool. Google maps rocks.

Now if only I can figure out how to plot waypoints and tracks on the overhead pic from my gps.

The satellite picture of my area is at least three years old judging by new construction projects that are missing.
