Google Maps Now Includes Satellite Photos


 

I remember about a year ago, Mapquest offered the option to view satellite images of the location you were looking at. For some reason they took it away.

Now Google, who bought the company that makes the Keyhole software, is offering satellite images on their Google Maps beta site. Although you cannot zoom in as close as you can with their Keyhole software, its still fun to play around with.

You can even drag the satellite image around just like you can the map, as well as switch between the satellite and map images without reloading the entire page.
