Cool! Google Earth caught my Spyder!

[finless]

So my Spyder is officially in space

Well captured from space anyway....

The satellite that takes pictures from space took a picture of my Spyder parked at my work parking lot yesterday.

Strange that it looks redish in color. I have a black cloth RS cover that I use and after 3 years it is a little faded so I guess it looks dark maroon from space.

how did you come to find it..?? I did my house a few times and they actually removed the cars in the drive way..or so it seems..

But if you hadn't circled it; this could have been turned into a contest...
Google Earth apparently hadn't found us yet...
The pictures that I've seen of my office still show a truck that I haven't owned for almost six years!

When you open Google earth go to the VIEW menu and select "Historical Imagery". You will now have a slider at the top you can skip forward and back to see different dates in time. Well that is if the sat imaged that location more than once.

Another shot at an angle. You can see the fenders. The RS cover I use covers everything but the front fenders.

Thanks!
Four our area; they might show Colonel Graham (For whom the Town is named...), getting caught with his pants down, by the local tribe of Indians...

It varies about the picture. I caught the picture van going by for ground shots last summer. The air view looks current also. What amazes me, I am in a rural community and not the middle of a big town.

It is neat though. I can look up people and see what their drink preference is when they are sitting on their decks. Love those homes with skylights in the bedroom and hot tubs in the yard.

...And thank Goodness for Ultra High-Definition cameras!!

How did you get a shot of yesterday?

My house still shows the same image from 6-8 years ago?

That is our old Spyders in our Church back in 2012. Close to the entrance.

I'm glad you posted that you have nothing to hide. I was going to comment that you should check the addresses of the places you don't want to be seen!!

Some tips for those saying the image they see is years old.

Do not use Google Maps and turn on Satellite view. Google Maps does not update it's sat imagery as often as Google Earth does especially if there have been no road changes in your area. Install Google Earth and make sure it is updated.

Also maybe try updating to Google Earth Pro. It is free now to upgrade!

When you open Google earth go to the VIEW menu and select "Historical Imagery". You will now have a slider at the top you can skip forward and back to see different dates in time. Well that is if the sat imaged that location more than once.

If your image is still old, then the sat has not been over your house in a while

I'm using an iPad. Where is the 'VIEW' menu? Do I need to sign in to find this info? Thanks for the info.

Ill have to try this, I'm sure the NSA, FBI, Interpol, etc has requested passes over my house pretty frequently....

While in Google earth I don't see a place to update. Also searched apps on my iPad and it doesn't show Google Eart Pro at all?

The high res images close to the ground are not done by satellite. That is a common misconception. They are done by aircraft.
Here is the image of my street.


I guess my neighborhood is not important enough to pay someone with a plane to fly over.

They do send the car around regularly to updated the street view on my street. The last time I checked before today, my garage door was open and you could see my Spyder parked inside. But when I checked today it has has been updated again and the garage doors are closed.
