I worked with a research team while at Georgia Tech that did have a satellite that he could take pictures with. His cube was full of pictures of him all over the world, laying down and waving to the sky. I wish I had a toy like that.

Yep, I am in the city of Los Angeles in an apartment building that is 18 months old, and it too shows a dirt lot.

The Kodak Theatre in Hollywood (where the academy awards is held at) has the words “Kodak Theatre” written on the roof and you can see it with no problem on Google satallite. im guessing in major cities like Los Angeles to make a logo seen on the satallite will be easier since the zoom goes all the way in.

This will not work for most people.. if I put up a sign today it may “never” be seen, why? I’ve been in my house for 2 years and it still shows as a dirt lot on google maps. No, I dont live in po-dunk Arkansas, I live in Las Vegas.
