Article: Google offers first looks at GeoEye-1 imagery

Summary: Google has started offering the first high-resolution imagery in Google Earth.
It is only as an optional layer in Google Earth right now but Dlayn Lrimer, strategic partner manager; and Jacob Schoberg, associate product manager says that we would start seeing GeoEye-1 imagery blended into their database and viewable through Google Earth, Maps, and Google Maps for Mobile soon.
Some shots of GeoEye-1 imagery can be viewed by downloading add-on imagery for Google Earth from Google’s GeoEye-1 preview site.
GeoEye company plans to launch another with a higher-resolution camera in 2011.
U.S. government limits the resolution of the images Google show to details measuring half a meter.

The higher resolution from GeoEye-1 provides us unexpected experience through computer because we could see lots of places by just typing address. I sometimes enjoy the Google map where I want to travel or see. I can’t wait to see more high-resolution imagery by Google Earth!
