This site is interesting because you can do a compare of the years available and slide the bar. Prints are also available and very tempting as I enjoy the history.

That's pretty neat. I didn't know there used to be cattle living where our house is now.

Not much different than Google Street view. You can tell Google you do not want your house on street view and they will blur it out.

Big difference. Google does not go up or over private property.

Not sure what you mean by up and over private property. I am having a hard time picturing what you are talking about with this eagleview. Post a screenshot.

Anyone can fly over your property any time they want, and photo anything from any angle. Creepy, yeah, but just the world we live in.

These guys selling aerials; the low price makes me wonder, where they commissioned to do other aerial photography, and snapped a few hundred extras, and selling them?

Around here, a really interesting is too look at water levels rise and fall over a 30 year period, lakes go dry, come back, go dry again.

If you have bought your home in the last 5ish years, there is likely a 3d walk through room to room, floating around on the internet somewhere

Want to be alarmed? Check out your property tax office.

My county has a system with a feature called "eagleview". They have every side of the compass and all buildings available, for public view. You can count the window panes in the pictures.

Historic views available too, on some parcels.

I personally find it, disturbing.

I actually know of some cases were people brought in mobile homes deep into wooded properties and set them up without any permits, hoping they would be undetected. Authorities can dig deep and find out the exact day they were moved into their location, and access huge fines to the guilty parties. Days of being able to get away with this kind of stuff have dis-appeared. The eye in the sky will eventually catch up to the guilty parties. With all the modern tech out there, even individuals can be tracked if authorities deem it necessary. You can run, but you cann,t hide, anymore.

Simple, google street view stops where public access stops. You can get an aerial view, of course. That view lacks details due to resolution and obliqueness.

The photography my county has made public looks like multiple fly overs from all compass points less than or close to 500 feet. It's like walking around your property taking pictures. You can count the tractors, the implements they are using and the livestock that were present at the time of photography.

Yeah...too invasive if you ask me.

Crazy! Do you think they get these images by airplane? What county is this? I want to see this Eagleview.
