For most rural areas Flash Earth is better, Terraserver maps are at least 10 old around these parts and in B/W

I recently used Google maps satelite images to look at the house I grew up in, in Sterling Massachusetts.

Of all the different online maps I've used, Live Local Search is probably my favorite. I really like the "Bird's eye view" feature.

Ooh, Davart, thanks for the Flash Earth tip. The aerial views of my house on Google and Yahoo were so old, it did not have any of the new houses behind me. The Ask aerial was the most up to date and I was able to zoom in the most also. I tried the other ones suggested and got the old maps. What fun to look, though!

terraserver's 15 years old for my area. google earth is the best, the way you can "fly" in to different parts of the country or different landmarks. you can also "tilt" the picture and it gives you the elevation of a specific place.

i'm somewhat rural, i don't have anything that gives you a real crisp closeup view of my area.

it's funny, i can pinpoint almost exactly when my picture was taken - based upon looking at my neighbors and if their fences/pools/swingsets etc were put in - i'm in a fairly new development. my picture on wikipedia is late fall 2001 or very early spring 2002 (trees are not in bloom but it's not winter).

Well I found our land but the image was from before our house was built on it....still a great link, Thanks!

It will vary by location. Google maps has the most recent pictures of my area, only a couple of years old.
