Agree that you can use them but the files are not there to download,
or you have to pay for them. In this case you are getting a pix that can
resolve objects that are 1 meter in size. And they are yours to use.
I have used Terraserver many times and looked at Keyhole, but I needed
photos of Hillsborough and the county has them for the taking, what you
saw if you went to the page was the photo at the lowest res, but if you
go to the bottom of the photo and download it you can now zoom in and
look at much smaller items. Then in my case I am registering them on
a GIS product and inserting them as a underlay on a map. Of course if
I was working on something from another location outside of Hillsborough
I may have to pay and download files from Terraserver or Keyhole, but
in this case they are there. Do not stop at the web sample pix download
the jpeg file and look at it with Gimp, you will see some nice clean pix.
Besides I still like the fact that I do not have to give anyone money for
them, actually they come out of my taxes so I might as well do something
with them.
