Users can see a satellite view of their home by searching for their address with Google Maps and selecting the Earth view. This pinpoints the address entered and shows an image based on collected satellite imagery.

A user can begin by entering his full address into the Google search engine at Google.com, and then clicking the Maps link. This takes the user to a map view that can be converted to a satellite view by clicking the Earth option in the lower-left corner of the page. This gives the user a realistic, aerial view of his home and allows him to zoom in closer by using the Google Maps navigation tools found in the lower-right corner of the page.
