Google has just added satellite photos to their mapping. A while back they'd
bought Keyhole Corp, which carried color sat images for US intelligence, and
now it's integrated on their site:
http://maps.google.com/
I just entered in the white-window:
myStreetAddress., City, ST Zip and
Calgary, AB
... and it got it right every time. At first you get a (quality) traditional
map, but in the upper-right is the link to sat images. (Nur Nordamerikaner
können zutreffen) The coloring can be a little queer, but whadda ya want?
GPS reference, and rez to 1m?
Maybe the license allows non-profits to republish. I'm no fan of Google (alt
clutsy, er, clusty.com), but it's nice to see them doing something good with
all their money.
Best,
Carl Cook
