Take 40% or More Off Your Home Insurance     Santiago Montoya, Undersecretary of Public Revenues for Buenos Aires in Argentina. is no novice at using high tech tools he finds on the internet. In 2005, he unearthed a novel computer system through which about 250,000 Argentines, politicians among them, used credit cards held at banks registered in other countries to avoid sales tax. Image from Google Earth™ Find places to download Google Earth Montoya now says his office is turning to satellite images to wage "a real war" on fiscal deficits, and has already taken several steps to reduce what he calls widespread real estate tax fraud in Argentina. The virtual globe program Montoya uses for real estate appraisal is Google Earth™, a free program which integrates detailed satellite images and aerial photos together with maps so that users can view specific homes, businesses and buildings in incredible detail. "Images of properties from the sky help square the actual size of properties with that declared by taxpayers to make sure the proper amount of taxes are being paid," Montoya says.   Government officials use the program to access satellite images of land and property and zoom-in on what Montoya calls "undervalued real estate". This is especially important when wealthy individuals live in gated communities where tax officials have not had access. The program is used to peak into back yards and check if taxpayers have expanded their homes in ways that would increase property values for taxation.   The resolution and clarity of the quality images provided by the program is startling. Most areas are covered by satellite imagery with a resolution of about 15 m per pixel. Population centers are often covered by aircraft imagery with much higher resolution and even 3D views. The program comes with an address search and a business search feature. Both have boxes where you can enter either a specific address or a more general search tem like “downtown Dallas" or ‘pizza in Clovis New Mexico” so users can quickly find anything they are looking for -- anywhere on earth.   Satellite and aerial images this clear were previously available only to agents of the superpowers or investigators subscribing to expensive programs. Now officials like Montoya as well as citizens all over the world can easily use free programs available to anyone with an internet connection to get detailed photos and information about anyone on the planet.    The government uses free programs. So can you!  Find old friends, lost loves or anyone and learn how to zoom in on anyone from space
