Aerial View of My House

The modern days have made it possible for people to enjoy a lot of technological advancements, even to the point where you can actually get aerial photos of your

house. If you’re wondering how to do this for free, there’s one word to answer your question: Google. That’s right: it’s actually possible to Google aerial view of my house, either for amusements sake or for giving directions.

There are two ways to get a Google aerial view of my house. The first is through Google Maps and the other is through Google Earth.

Google Maps can be accessed from any web browser at http://www.maps.google.com. Upon loading it, access Satellite view by clicking the tab labeled Satellite. I will then need to specify my location, either by giving the complete address or the map coordinates (longitude and latitude). Google Maps is pretty handy, because once I get a Google aerial view of my house, I can bookmark it so that I’ll be able to access it easier the next time, and I can even compare locations with friends and family members. My Internet connection should ideally be high-speed and my computer should have decent specifications to show the high resolution images well. It’s possible to get street and hybrid views as well for certain locations with Google Maps.

Google Earth essentially works the same way as Google Maps, except that you have to download the application first before you can run it. It’s possible to enlarge the view by double-clicking the browser so you can see the Google aerial view of my house more clearly. It’s possible to save the addresses so I can always have something to refer back to. Clearer pictures can be acquired, but only if the user switches from Google Earth to Google Pro, which is essentially the paid version of the former.

As of now, it’s not possible to get a live aerial shot or satellite view of houses or other addresses because that would be too costly. However, Google offers the next best thing. Google Earth continually updates their system so that the shots they get change every now and then, often showing interesting and even hilarious results.

With these applications, it’s not only possible to get a Google aerial view of my house, but other places as well. Use these to find directions, look for the closest convenience store or gasoline station, or simply just for fun.
