I Can See My House From Here!

I saw the Google satellite image on Emi’s blog. That’s the first time I ever saw that! I quickly went to Google Maps and viewed the satellite image of almost every place I ever lived. It’s one of the highlights of my past week.

Couldn’t a campaign website use this? How about charting the course between your home and the nearest poll location? You could find the nearest poll location on the campaign website and then link to Google maps.

Do we have the ability to make snapshots of real-time satellite images? That would be an interesting way to document life on the campaign trail. Visitors could see the satellite image of a rally and say “I was there!” It’s a different way to get excited about the routine campaign scenarios. It’s fun, and that goes a long way.
