Anybody know where I can find that? Google earth wont do, I'm looking for a clear picture of the "compass star" on the ground.

The highest resolution I've been able to find is on Google Maps: http://www.google.com/maps?q=1313+S+Harbor+Blvd,+Anaheim,+CA+92802,+USA&ie=UTF8&t=k&om=1&ll=33.809092,-117.918961&spn=0.001074,0.001963&z=19&iwloc=addr

The same image on Microsoft Terraserver: http://terraserver.microsoft.com/image.aspx?T=4&S=8&Z=11&X=8298&Y=74826&W=1&qs=1313+S.+Harbor+Blvd%7cAnaheim%7cCA%7c&Addr=1313+S+Harbor+Blvd%2c+Anaheim%2c+CA+92802-2309&ALon=-117.9154010&ALat=33.8094010

For anything higher/closer than that, you'll probably need to wait until newer imagery is made available--the images Google and Microsoft have now are from the USGS "Urban Areas" survey of 2004.

Have you tried MapQuest? They have aerial images now.

Looks to be the same source as Google/Microsoft: http://www.mapquest.com/maps/map.adp?address=1313%20S%20Harbor%20Blvd&city=Anaheim&state=CA&zipcode=92802%2d2309&country=US&title=%3cb%20class%3d%22fn%20org%22%3e1313%20S%20H arbor%20Blvd%3c%2fb%3e%3cbr%20%2f%3e%20%3cspan%20s tyle%3d%22display%3ainline%3bmargin%2dbottom%3a0px %3b%22%20class%3d%22locality%22%3eAnaheim%3c%2fspa n%3e%2c%20%3cspan%20style%3d%22display%3ainline%3b margin%2dbottom%3a0px%3b%22%20class%3d%22region%22 %3eCA%3c%2fspan%3e%20%3cspan%20style%3d%22display% 3ainline%3bmargin%2dbottom%3a0px%3b%22%20class%3d% 22postal%2dcode%22%3e92802%2d2309%3c%2fspan%3e%2c% 20%20%3cspan%20style%3d%22display%3ainline%3bmargi n%2dbottom%3a0px%3b%22%20class%3d%22country%2dname %22%3eUS%3c%2fspan%3e%3c%2fspan%3e&cid=lfmaplink2&name=&dtype=a

Thanks Andrew,

That google maps one is pretty good. Not quite big enough to use the picture, but maybe I can trace it in illustrator and make one.

I like how you can clearly see the shadows of the California letters on those pics. Cool:cool:
