  1. [Q] Hi-Res Elsewhere? [Q] Quality Print? by 4of12 · · Score: 0, Troll

    Nothing against Canada - some of my best friends are Canadian (that doesn't mean I'd let my daughter marry one) BUT:

    Are high resolution satellite/aerial images available for other locations?

    No, I don't expect to be able to buy hi-res images of Area 51, but was looking for my neighborhood.

    Also, are there ways of getting really nice poster prints of high resolution images?
