Spyder from Space

[Brevet05]

Google Maps is recently updated in San Antonio. The current aerial shots are from sometime between Nov 09 and Feb 10, and I can see my former 2008 RS in its outdoor cover. Anybody else find their Spyder in aerial photography?

Here's mine at work. If the photo don't show up, its at 34(degrees)53'43.76"N
117(degrees)03'40.74"W

If you zoom up close you can see the red from the bike on the ground. Don't know why.

Yeah, I guess when you live where you can ride year-round, you tend to take the moments for granted. Honestly, though, I was on a TDY trip for the Army and wanted to see if I could show my replacement something about Fort Sam Houston. The Spyder shape just caught my eye.

Well Brevet started it. Besides... its very windy outside.

A real EagleEye should be able to spot a Spyder on Google Maps while its moving. Perhaps a prize from ESI for the 1st person to do that?

Given that I've only seen a half dozen or so Spyders (other than at planned gatherings) in the past year, that'd be a real challenge - a literal needle in a haystack!

Where I live in northern NH, Google (or their sat source) do not provide enough resolution to even make out my house.

True enough! Did you try the Street Level view? Looks like if you're on NH 113, you can see pretty well.
