Google unveils satellite map feature

Posted on April 5, 2005March 3, 2019 by James

This is totally kewl! Google Maps (http://maps.google.com/) is now including access to the Keyhole (satellite) technology in their map tool (which I think is the best tool out there right now).

From CNN (http://www.cnn.com/2005/TECH/internet/04/05/google.maps.ap/index.html):

The satellite technology, which Google began offering late Monday at http://maps.google.com/, is part of the package that the Mountain View-based company acquired when it bought digital map maker Keyhole Corp. for an undisclosed amount nearly six months ago.

This marks the first time since the deal closed that Google has offered free access to Keyhole's high-tech maps through its search engine. Users previously had to pay $29.95 to download a version of Keyhole's basic software package.
