There was a website that did this in the past, terraserver I think it was called. This one doesnt go outside d suburbs of Dublin so my house is about 500m from the edge of the photo part. Ah well.

the southside past ballsbridge is blurry, but the northside is fine.

i guess they're waiting for updated aerial maps of the area.

and yeah, cool, but old news by now.

Perhaps you should embark then on your own superior site and map all 148 million square kilometers of the Earth's land surface

I like the DTO Journey Planner. When you zoom in it will show a satellite image.
The downsides are that it is slow, sometimes down (the backend seems to be down ATM) and you can only get satellite images when zoomed right in.
I think that the images are older than used on Google Earth.

BTW, the backend is run my MapFlow.com who provide the same backend for MyHome.ie.
