Is there any way to get Terraserver.microsoft.com to show me
a picture of Somerville, MA?

When I ask for Somerville, I get a picture of part of Cambridge, and
it won't let me navigate anywhere north of Harvard Square. I'm sure
I used to be able to do this.

Ron,
Ditch Microsoft's Terraserver and go to ortho.mit.edu

Yeah, I know, but I wanted to compare the pictures on the two sites.

Try http://ortho.mit.edu. It's got everything inside Route 128.

Wow..that's neat stuff. Got any sites that offer more towns outside of
128?

Thanks.
