Have you seen this http://virtualearth.msn.com/ ?

It's pretty amazing. I've seen the google satelite maps, but this one seems to allow you to really zoom in a lot more. See if you can find your favirote hunting areas on there with the aerial view option.

I was actually able to locate my house and could see details such as which cars are parked in the driveway and more. It has some pretty good aerial photos.

That is pretty cool. Have you tried the USA Photo Maps software? It's a freeware program available from www.jdmcox.com. Basically what it does is downloads the Terraserver aerial photos and topos and seamlessly combines them. So you have them saved on your computer rather than having to download them again every time you want to look at them.

You can switch back and forth from topo to aerial at the click of a button, plus you can mark waypoints and it integrates with GPS; it's fantastic! One of the most useful freeware programs I have ever used. I spent some time and downloaded aerials and topos for my entire county, and now I can just scroll through it at ease.

But with the release of the new Google Earth program, they seem pretty stone-age. The Google Earth program, at least in my area of TN, doesn't zoom in well in rural areas. But once (if) they ever get that corrected, I think it's going to be an outstanding program.

I haven't tried that USA Photo Maps software, but it does look cool and I will definitely try it out when I get a chance. I've noticed that both with Google and Msn's satelite views certain areas or states seem to have a lot better views than others. On the MSN one you can see the valley part of Utah really well. I think you could probably find people pretty easy if you looked a bit.
