How do I get aerial photos of various addresses?

Seems to me I used to be able to do that, but I've now forgotten. I tried Google Earth but didn't see how to do it. The site allows you to see any street or structure anywhere through satellite imagery. Thanks for your help.

You can still do it on Google Earth, but Google Maps has this and more.

In Google Maps, go to location you want to see an aerial shot of:


Then click on the "Earth" icon in lower left corner of window and you see:


Then zoom in with "+" icon in lower right to get a closer look:


Then you can drag the yellow/orange human figure in lower right to a street to see a street side view. The view can be rotated for a 360 degree view of what is on that street.


You can't see some of the screen icons I mentioned because my screen clips don't include the whole window.

Very simple to use (after you have used it a few times ๐Ÿ™‚ )

It's like magic. ๐Ÿ™‚ It's a little scary what people can pull up these days.

Google Maps or Bing Maps. Both have different images. Sometimes Bing has newer shots.

Zillow does this as well, but the pic of my place on Zillow is 15 years old.
