    Since Google Earth images may be several years old, there is no reason why the parking spot is still empty.

    Let’s see. It costs$2.00/hr to park in my town. The bus costs $1.25. Eww! I couldn’t ride with THOSE people. Thanks for the extra pollution, Burbites, We city folk go in your neighborhood and we get profiled.

    Sorry Lew but the buses and trains don’t run at 0330 and if they did my commute would change from 1hr to 3. Tried it once.

    Things will be way scary when Google Earth works in real time.

    I wonder how often Google Earth updates their imagery. I might start contracting to put billboards on the roofs of my houses.

    Dunno -

    But Street View and the overheads are nowhere NEAR the same age most places…

    In the overhead, my van is parked out back - the image is about 4-5 years old; in Street View, (dated 2009), my Jeep that I replaced the van with can be seen peeking around the corner at the alley…

    That truck cabin doesn’t have any airbags to protect the woman squashed up against the steering wheel or the person she’s sitting on who’s steering.

    I did my house, and the first owners car was in the driveway. And we have lived here for going on 7 years!!

    Our property(on google earth) is several years pre-Katrina. Probably around 2003.

    gc girl, I know what you mean. My house in New Orleans doesn’t have a “Katrinia roof” but many of the other houses shown in my neighborhood down there do, and the storm happened almost 5 years ago now.

    OK, prognosticators, how many years before we’ll be able to see live satellite images of the Earth from our computers, down to the same level of detail as Google Earth? 10 years? 20 years? Ever? Will it require an endless array of camera lenses on each satellite or just a few? I’ll guess someone will be able to figure it out in 50 years.
