Google Map satellite

[hiroto]

I was playing around with Google's new Satellite mapping today. It is fun to zoom into skiing area. Looks very different looking right from above.

Here are a couple of examples:

Wachusett Mountain:
http://maps.google.com/maps?q=princeton,ma&ll=42.497306,-71.888459&spn=0.020471,0.031672&t=k&hl=en

Killington:
http://maps.google.com/maps?q=killington,vt&ll=43.612375,-72.801590&spn=0.040941,0.063343&t=k&hl=en

MA is fully covered with high resolution images but
only partially for VT, NH, ME. Killington is an exception I found in VT.

We had a similar thread going using Terraserver. The detail on some of the Google Maps is pretty impressive though...

I like the photos, but that small preview pane from Google is a real nusiance. I need a magnifying glass!!

Thanks for the reference. I like the K shot in that thread better. Although
it is black and white, there are still snow left on the trail.
