Google satellite is finally out. You can see it in action here
Our home at google satellite, hehe. Google has accquired a company called "keyhole" a while ago for its satellite imaging technology. I have seen and tried "keyhole" software before but it is still nice to see it becomes generally available for free through google map. It is said that all images are at least 6 month old but from what I can tell, it is fairly recently since I saw a bunch of new houses close to my home that I know were built for no longer than 4 months old.
With "keyhole" pro edition, user can get even better resolution, don't know how good it gets but with even now, it is just simply amazing how fast technology grows and it can change our life.
Note: Google claims for privacy purposes it is never possible to see information such as human faces and car license plate etc.
