Color Ariels?
« on: August 30, 2006, 05:16:32 AM »
I see that some users have color ariel photos. Looking anywhere around the Pittsburgh area I only see black/white ariels. Is this dependant on what's available in my area or am I missing some setting to see color ariels?

Color aerial photos are only available in some urban areas.  More are being added as time goes on.  Look on Terraserver's site for a list of the cities covered.  I'll see if I can find it and add it to TopoFusion's site.

Thanks.

Thanks.  Where does Google get their images from? I assume they pay for them in some way and Topofusion uses Terraservers since they are free?

Exactly.
