If you are at all able to use a map you could identify whether it's on a
highway. In front of a building is a little useless since there are many
buildings in existance. You would have to be able to identify the building
in the arial photo, in which case you would be familier with the area and
could probably identify where it is simply by looking at the map.

Also, unless you happen to have a live internet connection in the car you're
using to track yours (or have someone relaying information over the phone),
the car might not be where the website last said it was.

Which are much more useful than a photo.
