Google’s debut of it’s satellite images as part of Google Maps was received by me as a relatively hum-drum development in their technologies. And then I went to visit the site. If nothing else it’s very VERY cool.
They say an image is worth a thousand words so you’re best to simple visit their site at http://maps.google.com/ and take a look for yourself. Find your city in the map mode (the default when you get there) and once you’ve located it click the “Satellite” link on the top right.
And so I have to say it, yet another great development from this search engine giant. I may not love everything they do but this is just a downright cool addition to the world’s biggest search engine.
