Google Satellite MapsGoogle Maps has gotten that much cooler. Google has integrated wonderful satellite imagery into both it's Maps and Local products. It's pretty dang slick, and Greg shows some samples of its power. Note that I had trouble with the zoom in Firefox 1.01, but after upgrading to 1.02, it all works fine and dandy. Update at 1:45: Here's a cool flickr group that shows Google images of people's childhood homes (inspired by this). There's also links to the Burning Man Camp site as well as a field in Illinois that says "Dave." Thanks Waxy. 7 CommentsNeil T. said on 04/05/05 @ 01:05 PM:You'll probably be able to upgrade to 1.0.3 on Friday... :) Jake said on 04/05/05 @ 01:06 PM: Great, get to go through reinstalling a bunch of my extensions that threw a fit in 1.0.2. Yipee....;) Brad said on 04/05/05 @ 02:26 PM: Tried to look up my old Bend address and zoom in, but not available. Zoom is available for Portland and Virginia. Jake said on 04/05/05 @ 02:27 PM: Zoom is available for quite a few areas, but yes, Bend is not one of them. Val said on 04/05/05 @ 10:36 PM: Weird... all those Anchorage shots on flickr group! Val, Anchorage, AK. Walter V. said on 04/24/05 @ 09:45 AM: Google maps is nice with satellite images, but ever heard of the NASA World Wind? This is a nice free service of NASA with 3D satellite images worldwide. Very cool! Check my blog at http://www.wallies.info/blog/item/24/ miguel benitez said on 05/09/05 @ 09:16 PM: cool....
