That's interesting. That's the first map I've seen that gets the
location correct, instead of at the other end of the block.
However, this one is very low-resolution compared to Google Earth,
where you can see the shadows of the roof tower, beam and satellite
array.

Thanks Steve,
Yeah, the photo of my property has better resolution than Google. It appears
the dollar figure is based on 2-year old county tax records.

Here's another site. You type in the address and zip
code and it comes up with an ariel pic. Since it's
basically a real estate site, it shows the priced of
the property (based on ?). The arial shots are pretty
good and is the pix are current, at least within the
last two years or so at my QTH.
