On CNN this morning they ran a segment about Google’s satellite imagery available through Google Earth. I’ve been excited about Google Maps and Google Earth for awhile, so enjoyed watching them show shots of New Orleans before and after Katrina. Google has made updated Katrina related imagery available on their site. One thing CNN said that amazed me was that just a couple years ago they paid over $10,000 for access to satellite imagery Iraq. Now Google is providing a similar service to the general public for free.
