JL Sargent Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 Got a friend who works retail. He says a customer came in and used an app on an Iphone like this: Entered state, city, address into app. Satellite took their picture and then several seconds later he showed those guys the picture? I guess that is possible, but to the general public? Maybe he is with CAI, FBI, or somebody. Anybody heard of this one? Edit: Also these guys were standing in the parking lot when this picture was taken. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JL Sargent Posted January 5, 2011 Author Share Posted January 5, 2011 I think its general knowledge that the satellite imaging tecknology is out there. But the ability to pull the photo and show it on an Iphone is what's got me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay481985 Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 There a few apps that are amazing This will be a game changer Converts spanish signs and text to english in a few seconds. I have seen this app work so its real. As for the satellite, I remember reading about this a few years back but I remember you order it online (iphone can do that) and wait a few hours for the satellite to get in correct orbit. http://techcrunch.com/2009/01/20/a-birds-eye-view-of-the-inauguration-first-satellite-image/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigStewMan Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 is the photo of your gps location or can you put in other coordinates? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay481985 Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 If I remember correctly you could put an address or gps coordinates and wait till the satellite goes in correct orbit and they send you pictures. You can choose day or night pics, etc etc. I think it was like 40 dollars but at best it was a bit better than the best google satellite images Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigStewMan Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 i wonder how many spouses or boyfriend/girlfriends use this to request a picture to see if their significant other's car is parked in someone else's driveway or vice versa. "if you were at your sister's house, why was your car parked in that guy from your office's driveway?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
