It really depends... for example - the current pictometry set for my house points south and east... north and west views are from an earlier set that goes back some several odd years from before 2002 when I bought the house.

Even though the pics aren't really current, I am surprised at how clear and close you can zoom in.

With the increase in security measures, I wonder how long it will take to be put in jail for electronic tresspassing?

I just wish I could see more places, there's a lot of gaps in that birds-eye coverage. But it's nice when you can zoom down close enough you can just about identify individual automobiles by make/year and make out people walking down the street.

Luther, that line in North Collins is the Buffalo Southern out of Hamburg,
NY. It interchanges down in Gowanda with the NY&LE. This was all a
branch of Erie I believe.
