blank screen for all of the addresses I search.

In particular, I'm looking for an image of this address for my traffic court case:

1501 Richmond Rd., Charlottesville VA, 22911.

TIA.

Default Here you go...but you won't be happy...

That map is a low res pic. You should drop the punctuation and the zip...

Some of areas are extremely detailed, this however is not...

Crap. That sucks. Looks like I'll have to go and buy a map. Thanks anyway.

Default Try Microsoft Terra-server. I think it is just as good and you don't have to download anything....

Certain areas are mapped better than others but give it a shot. Your address looks like it hasn't been mapped for about 12 years.

Sorry I only know how to do one link
