The satellite photos are anywherre from 10 to a few years old, your not going to see what it looks like in real-time.

Ya most maps aren't even updated which is dumb. TerraServer's latest maps are from 1998.

Climb up to the top of your roof with a camera.

High resolution, realtime satellite photos on demand are something the .gov and .mil are determined to not let you have access to - and for good reason.
