Area 51 at Google Maps vs Space Imaging
Friday, April 15th, 2005Someone passed me this blog entry about someone trying to use Google Maps to view Area 51. The quality ultimately sucks (as shown here) because Google Maps doesn’t have high resolution shots of this area.
Now, Space Imaging has high quality shots of the area using 1 meter imagery, but they aren’t in color. So, I whipped out Gimp, and rotated, skewed, and stretched the Google Map data so it would fit over the Space Imaging data to show the difference in resolution visually.
