Thanks to Google Maps, obtaining a satellite image of your property is as easy as lifting your finger, and and it's FREE! Though the image may not be real-time, it's already a technological wonder that many of us could benefit from.

If you have noticed, Google Maps has now included many street names in major cities in Malaysia. Hopefully very soon we could find detailed driving directions through Google Maps, as what millions of users in United States and many other countries have been using.
If your property is in Malaysia, you might find it tricky to find it on Google Map using your address (as I've mentioned, it's not fully functional for some countries like Malaysia). My tip is to first find a bigger area ("Malaysia", or "Johor" for example).
Once you are in the "Malaysia" map, then all you need to do is to do some dragging and zooming in. (If you know any other better ways, feel free to share it with us!)
To see the map in satellite mode, click on the "Sat" button on the top right corner of the map. And yes, you can show the terrain of the area by clicking the "Ter" as well.
You could even mark your property with it, like how we mark the location of our office in the map above.
P.S. If you have yet to use Google Map before, and you would like to know more about it, you might want to visit the following link:
