Living in small town, rural Wisconsin, terrafly does better than google
earth.  Google had such poor resolution that I couldn't even identify the
street I live on.  Terrafly allowed me to spot my house.  Google was good
for number 2 son's house in Santa Clara, CA and a location in Pasadena,
CA.  No.1 son's house in Elk River, MN wouldn't come up---didn't recognize
the address.  Of course mapquest always puts his address in the wrong place
as well.  I was able to get close enough to his address to navigate to his
house.  The field behind his house is sharp and clear, high
resolution.  The house and yard is poor resolution--you can see the line
between the two resolutions very distinctly  Try 9698 Odean Ave. NE, Elk
River, MN (this is an address that GoogleEarth can find) to see this
line.  Very interesting.
