Terraserver: Aerial Images
built 670 days ago
Using the TerraServer site is not difficult. It requires that you locate the site using either the address (street number, street name, city and ZIP code) or geographical features (highways, roads, landmarks, etc.).If you have geographic positioning system (GPS) latitude and longitude coordinates, TerraServer will allow you to input these coordinates and go directly to the location.Some patience is required in using the site's "button" features to navigate in areas featured in the aerial photo, manipulate the scale of the map, toggle between a USGS map and an aerial photo, or obtain latitude and longitude information using the image info button.

Since 1997, TerraServer® has positioned itself as the leader in online imagery. The company, based in Raleigh, NC, aims to be the one-stop site for aerial photos and satellite pictures. The interactive TerraServer.com website allows customers to easily search and view imagery from multiple sources and offers custom image downloads and prints.

When using TerraServer linked images within a Manifold Internet Map Server web page, keep in mind that linked images may take a long time to render as image tiles are fetched from the remote image server. For example, an IMS project that contains an image linked from TerraServer won't render that image on the website until the system fully downloads the entire required portion of the image from TerraServer.
