GOOGLE EARTH
This is a computer program that renders a 3D representation of Earth based primarily on satellite imagery. The program maps the Earth by superimposing satellite images, aerial photography, and GIS data onto a 3D globe, allowing users to see cities and landscapes from various angles.
Individual properties can be seen by putting property addresses into the search engine Google and clicking on the map. Clicking on the satellite image on the resultant map will bring up an image of the property.
