Satellite home views at your fingertips online.
Thanks to the merging of satellite and Internet technology, you can easily view a satellite image of your house in a number of ways with just a few clicks of your mouse. Satellite images are not live, so if you plan to ask a friend to check out your home's new paint color by one of these methods, you might want to look it up first to see if your satellite view is up-to-date.
