Google Earth and Google Maps Are About To Get Much Better For Real Estate Agents

Wow!

I just ran across an image from the Google sponsored satellite being run by GeoEye. The quality is truly amazing. The picture below is one of the first taken by the high quality camera and will be offered with detail down to 20 inches.

This is not shabby for use for real estate professionals across the country when the images start rolling into Google Maps.

GeoEye says this image of Kutztown University, Pennsylvania, is the first image taken by GeoEye-1. It was collected on October 7, 2008, from 423 miles in space as their satellite moved down the eastern seaboard of the United States.

The Geo-Eye1 is described as the world’s highest-resolution commercial satellite. GeoEye spokesperson Mark Brender tells Wired.com that the satellite can take photos at a resolution of up to 41 centimeters — close enough to zoom in on the home plate of a baseball diamond. Due to federal law, though, Google will “only” get images that have a 50-centimeter resolution — meaning the imagery will capture details down to about 20 inches.  via Search
