Says they’ll be able to map an area the size of New Mexico daily.
“The GeoEye-1 satellite has the highest ground resolution color imagery available in the commercial marketplace and will produce high-quality imagery with a very accurate geolocation,” said Google spokeswoman Kate Hurowitz, adding that most commercial satellite imagery has a resolution of 60cm. “It is our goal to display high-resolution imagery for as much of the world as possible, and GeoEye-1 will help further that goal.”

The fact that Google now has a Satellite System that is capable of mapping such a large area in such detail concerns me slightly. We already have the problem with Google streets and people privacy being invaded. This satellite system just seems another way for them to invade our privacy. I don’t want them mapping the location of my motorhome every time they fly by. Don’t know how you feel about this!
