If you have a decent pc I recomend this cool shit google bought out which is now called Google Earth. Basically you can view pretty much any location on earth with great detail. http://earth.google.com/index.html
It's changed alot, I don't know if you were using the previous version by keyhole, but it seems way clearer now. I also read that most of the images are from 2001 - 2003 ish and cali has changed a whole lot. It would be coo if shit was all archived so we could check out all the progression later on.
Privacy concerns: Ok, satellite photos of pretty much everywhere in the world to the point where the only thing still hidden is eye color. I can cope with world governments having this sort of capability, but for-profit, private companies?
At any rate, anyone check out Cuba? It's all right there for you.
Well, what led me to post this was zooming in on my old complex and actually seeing my fucking CAR right goddamn there parked. Couldn't make out the plate, but everything else was in plain view. Not good. To me at least.
