Where Can I See Free Satellite Images?
Just a few years ago, satellite images were the exclusive realm of military and government agencies.
Eventually, satellite images became commercially available, at very steep prices.
Now, technology has improved to the point where satellite images are available so inexpensively that they are now able to be provided for free. That is to say - these free satellite images are actually paid for by advertisers.
Free Satellite Images on the Web
The best source of web-based free satellite images at this point is Google Maps.
In addition to the pure satellite view, Google maps lets you choose a hybrid view, which superimposes streets, street names, and landmarks over the satellite images.
MSN VirtualEarth and Terrafly use aerial photography to provide a service similar to Google Maps.
Free Satellite Images on your PC
