GoogleEarth/Map updates
GoogleEarth Blog reports a Huge Update to Google Earth and Maps Aerial/Satellite Photos - September 8 and 9:
This update increased high resolution coverage in a number of areas (several states in the US are now all, or nearly, completely covered). Also, new metropolitan areas are covered in a number of states or countries.
He’s got links and examples. The entire state of Georgia now has some form of high res, though the 17th Street Bridge and all of Atlantic Station are missing from Atlanta* and they don’t have the level of imagery required to zoom all the way in to my little town.
Via Thomas Hawk, who points to this satellite view of the Eiffel Tower.
* The photo is of a jet leaving Hartsfield Jackson. It must have been years ago, the new runway’s not there either.
