1. At a similiar site I found a Satellite picture of my grandfather's farm
It was really amazing and I finally got a great view of it and printed it out on photo quality paper and gave it to my mother. She grew up on that farm and even after my parents died we still have it. It's a beautiful piece of land

2. Yes, I have.
It's pretty cool. Also found my siblings houses, my mom's house, my junior and senior high schools. Lots of stuff.

4. Yeah.
Google Earth is cool to play with when you're bored.

5. I've seen my old house. But the satellite photos Google Earth is
currently using must be more than three years old, because there's an empty lot where my new house is supposed to be.

6. I can't zoom in tight enough
to see any detail. I get that "You can't zoom in tight enough to see any detail" message.

I'm guessing a lot of those photos are old, though. I was mousin' around once on my hometown, and the Sports Complex, which is like eight years old, was under construction in the photo.

7. go to your county website. the auditors usually have satellite
images of the county for tax purposes.

My county's program allows me to zoom to 200 feet of my house!
