maxewell SG I came across this from http://esplanade.sg/2007/03/13/whos-watching-over-you-google/ Anyone else found similar close-up shots of Google Map? Imagine being able to view so clearness from so far away. I wonder why there are no such close-up views in Singapore though.. Google 'hates' us?
maxewell SG No it isn't real time. They are satellietes images taken over a period of time and compiled together over time. When new images come in, they are updated to the existing ones bit by bit. Something along that line. It's a camel in the picture!
Conner MacDermott SG You buy one statelite and give it to Google lor.. They will then use your satelite to "aim" Singapore.
maxewell SG Have a look at this as well Now, ZOOM in on this on the green arrow and tell me what you make of this. A Missile! http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&q=38%C2%B013%2736.38%22N,+112%C2%B017%2756.59%22W&layer=&ie=UTF8&om=1&z=2&ll=2.811371,-82.265625&spn=141.525383,360&t=k&iwloc=addr Some more BS, or someone purposely fire a missile for the photoshot?
nightzip SG very nice map! i found my house in the link, check out singapore island than zoom to your town, area. Cool!
DarthBart SG For GoogleMaps/Earth, after a certain magnification its aerial photo, not satellite. So I believe since the west/northwest of Sg is restricted zone, so there isn’t much aerial photo of the area is the public domain
maxewell SG So.. I guess the Singapore Top Brass asked Google to keep out of these areas? Did it happen in this case?
cairocks SG This image had been discusses in militaryphotos.net forum before and it is concluded that it is a photoshop image of a plane in flight. Look closely and you can see the wings are darkened and made to look like a cruise missile in flight.
LazerLordz SG You think Google will care? They will only agree to use lower-res images at most. If everyone can see everyone's toys, it's also not too bad.
VagueHart SG I think I read it somewhere which it says that Google are not allowed to disclose major military and classified position to the public. But look at it this way, if Google can view it through their satellite but they just censored it, why can’t our enemies from other countries do it with their satellite?
maxewell SG Ah I see.. Guess it might have been a plane then. (Google can view it through their satellite but they just sensor it, why can't our enemies from other countries do it with their satellite?) They could, just that everyone else is keeping mum.
