Satellite pictures of fields

[DaveJ]

Here's some links to satellite pictures of a few local fields. I'll add more as I find them.

SCP

Sorry Darrin, they haven't updated the images of Splattag yet. Can't make out any details on it. Maybe next update.

Cool.

get some of crosssfire

[DaveJ]

I'm having a little trouble finding the exact spot for Crossfire since I've never been there. I 'think' this is the area...
http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&geocode=&q=travelodge&sll=45.505407,-94.148819&sspn=0.004256,0.011694&ie=UTF8&ll=45.504369,-94.149292&spn=0.004256,0.011694&t=h&z=17

Either the images haven't been updated in a while, or the tree's are blocking the view of anything recognizable.

[Daryck]

You were close, the cleared out triagle in this link
http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&geocode=&q=travelodge&sll=45.505407,-94.148819&sspn=0.004256,0.011694&ie=UTF8&t=h&ll=45.507512,-94.152617&spn=0.003511,0.006727&z=17

is actually the field. Maps kind of a little funky though, clear water road doesn't exist there yet. Also it won't zoom in enough to see anything like bunkers.

[DaveJ]

Thanks for the correction. I knew it was by the Travelodge, just not which direction. They sure do update those images pretty randomly. The SCP image is from late last summer! I helped build the 4 square buildings on the lower left course.

Here's Splatball Inc's old outdoor field.
http://maps.google.com/?ie=UTF8&t=h&om=0&ll=44.750707,-92.986822&spn=0.002156,0.005847&z=18

Not sure if anyone is even using it right now, but you can still see some bunkers up. Of course the image could be a couple years old.

Here's their new field, though the image isn't updated enough to see bunkers yet...
http://maps.google.com/?ie=UTF8&ll=45.210933,-93.548589&spn=0.002139,0.005847&t=h&z=18

[DaveJ]

So a bit of a trip north gives us Combat Zone...

http://maps.google.com/?ie=UTF8&t=h&om=0&ll=46.057553,-92.546607&spn=0.004214,0.011694&z=17
You can just make out their big alamo fort.

And the Northside/Pure Paintball Hinckley location...

Here's MN Pro Paintball, but it looks like it was taken in late fall/early winter, but you can still see some sup'air bunkers up.
http://maps.google.com/?ie=UTF8&t=h&om=0&ll=44.623923,-93.391047&spn=0.002161,0.005847&z=18

[Action Packed Paintball]

The really amazing ones are the "bird's eye" pictures on live.com. You can see individual players on them.

[DaveJ]

ah, forgot about that site. Last time I used it was a while ago, and it seemed a bit buggy. Seems much better now.

The SCP image is a couple years old (judgeing by the field layout), but the Splattag image is much better than the google maps version.

I'll post more as I find them.

[DaveJ]

A few quick ones for tonight...

The Twin Cities birds eye views all seem to be early spring or late fall judging by the lack of leaves on the trees. Probably late fall.
