So back when Google purchased Keyhole, it was assumed that this would eventually happen, but who could have guessed how cool it would really be? To try it, type in an address at Google Maps and when the map comes up, click the “Satelite” link at the far right. I g-mapped all the places I’ve ever lived.
The colors are kind of fascinating. I could have guessed that Maine would be green, since it’s 98% undeveloped forest land, but I had forgotten what a concrete jungle Boston was. It would be nice if the there were a time sequence to the satelite imaging that would let you select from a range of available photographs, see the progress of development. It would be nice to see Maine in the fall, for instance.
