Google Adds Satellite Map Feature
Posted on April 8, 2005
Google has expanded its Google Maps service to include satellite images. People using the map search tool can now also zoom in on locations with satellite images from Keyhole Corp., a company Google acquired last year.
CNET describes how the service works: "The new satellite feature allows consumers to get an aerial photo snapshot of the location for which they are searching. People can enter an address and click on the 'Satellite' link to view an area, zoom in or see neighboring locations by moving the cursor."
It is certainly very useful to be able to see what your destination looks like in addition to following a map. It makes it less likely you are going to get lost.
