Satellite view uses high-resolution images from satellites and aerial photography to show real-world locations. According to Google, most areas get updated satellite images every 1 to 3 years—busy cities or popular regions may see more frequent updates. Note: This isn’t a live stream, but it’s the most up-to-date aerial view available on the platform.

Follow these simple steps to see your home on Google Maps:

1. Open Google Maps

Launch the app on your phone. If you don’t have it, download it from the App Store (iOS) or Google Play Store (Android). Ensure it’s updated—this fixes most missing feature issues.

2. Access Your Profile

Tap the circular profile icon in the top-right corner. This opens your account menu.

3. Go to Settings

Select the “Settings” option (gear icon) from the profile menu. This takes you to the app’s settings page.

4. Enable Satellite View

Find the “Satellite View” (or “Map Type”) option and toggle it on. Some versions may have this under “Navigation Settings” — look for the satellite icon to confirm.

5. Locate Your Home

Return to the main map. Use the search bar to type your home address, or zoom in manually to find your neighborhood. You’ll see the satellite image of your house and surrounding area.

The video uses “live” loosely—satellite imagery isn’t real-time. Google updates data periodically, so you’re seeing a recent snapshot. Another tip: If satellite view isn’t clear, try Google Earth for more detailed 3D views.
