Sources for viewing satellite photos

Featured Replies

Hello, this may seem silly but I was wondering if there are any other sources out there to view satellite images. I am trying to get a close up of a resort on Isla Mujeres Mexico. Google Earth's image seems to have a lot of glare from the sun hitting the beach. Bing's image is too old - the resort was still under construction (it opened in 2009). I need to get close enough to be able to see the 3x5 pools on the roof top suites. I can also use a base map that I can open in ArcMap10 - I have it on my home computer.Thanks

Anything on NASA's site? That's usually worth a shot.Al

How would arc map help you view any files of satellite images?
I can view basemaps and images. The pre loaded basemaps are the same as Google Earth so their no good.Web based is really what I want - something like Google or Bing but with different images. Just threw out the GIS option if anyone knew of something. I have no idea how to load additional base maps that are not from ESRI but I would figure it out if someone knew of something. http://www.esri.com/software/arcgis/arcgisonline/standard-maps.htmlI didn't see anything like that on the NASA site. Mostly news and NASA info. Maybe I missed something?Thanks for the help.
