What you experiencing with satellite view when it is zoomed in? When I zoom mine in it is not clear and has no detail at all. I used to have very good detail when I zoomed it in. Now it is just a very out of focus view.

Are you tethered to your cell phone? I experimented with tethering and it looked like ass while tethered.

I can read all of your license plates, mail, and see everything you do in your homes on my satellite view.... EVERYTHING ?

I don't actually know how to do that or how I know if it is.

It's not just satellite imagery; usually it's also aerial photography, especially at the highest zoom levels. As a result it's not one single set of images, but a bunch of overlapping image sets from different flights, meaning different areas may have different resolutions and you'll see changes as you drive around. They are also update the photography with newer flights, so it's also possible the resolution for the same area can change.

That makes sense. The aerial for our property is at least as old as 2017. I can at least tell that much. But zooming in the house just looks like a blurry mess.

Since the upgrade, my satellite view went from decent to a blurry mess. I'm not tethered (which don't understand why that would make a difference given we're all on Connect+ trial). I thought perhaps it would need to recache the images so tried sitting in the vehicle in a parking lot for some extended period didn't nothing improved. Going to try a soft reset next to see if that helps.

I don't ever remember seeing much detail when zoomed in looking at my house ever since I got my truck in 7/22.
