It's incredible how far online mapping has come. When I moved from central London to the suburbs, we moved out of aerial photo coverage into an area only covered by 'true' satellite imagery, at pretty low resolution. You couldn't make out individual houses. Now our house and garden are rendered in Google Maps from detailed 3D LIDAR models.
