I'm looking for some aerial photos of urban areas that are open source and free to use (and okay quality). Like on Google Map and Bing Maps.

I just can't really find any... I'll keep looking but maybe someone here knows.

Google or bing + Print screen and paste to photoshop.

You're probably going to have to pay for anything more recent or higher quality.

Reading up it seems that is illegal to print screen and use them for my purposes... I need the photos for a(free to play) game I'm making. The photos are still owned by Microsoft/Google.

Started browsing that Jezza, looks like it might have some of the photos I need. Thanks a bunch.


I really wish I could use Bing because I'd have a near limitless supplies of scenes like this
