Tile date
« on: February 02, 2009, 07:58:31 AM »
Hi Scott,

I think this has been discussed in the past, but with the addition of color tile sets, all sorts of research is now practical. Backcountry campsite surveys come to mind, in keeping with my interests. It would be very desirable to know the date when a tile image was taken, say by right click over an exact area of interest.

I'm not sure if this is possible (if the tiles have this info) but it would be a great feature I think.

Yep, would be useful.

The data is available on Terraserver-usa.com, and for the aerials we could simply collect it by hand it make it available in the program.   It would save me answering emails WRT this question all the time too.   When was "such and such photo taken?"  :-\
