Interesting. I'll have to do a little sleuthing tomorrow at the office and tell you what the different URLs are (and if there is anything better yet). Just a quick browse tells me what you are using draws from The National Map whereas Ian's URL was purely NAIP. The National Map includes the imagery captured as part of the 133 most populated places and is .3m color as well as a few other flyovers.
I heard a rumor the other day that the USDA wants to start doing NAIP leaf-on (i.e., when the trees have full canopies). That sucks for most purposes other than monitoring the health of trees. But that's just a rumor right now. -Eric -=--=---=----=----=---=--=-=--=---=----=---=--=-=- Eric B.
