Better Data on Google Maps and Google Earth
Google Maps and Google Earth have become the default source of easily accessible imagery for anyone needing aerial photos, including foresters. On June 27th, 2016, Google announced a significant improvement on its satellite imagery on its Google Maps website. (Click here for the full story.)
According to the story Landsat 8 imagery was used to provide clearer and sharper images with better resolution. And, as in previous upgrades, clouds have been eliminated.
To test this out I made a map of the Mont Alto Campus using the My Maps app on Google Maps. Here it is.
This is a definite improvement over previous imagery. The new sidewalks that were installed in 2014 are clearly visible.
On the other hand, the map below, showing the site where the chestnut seedlings are planted is high resolution, but doesn’t show the fence or any of the recent work planting new seedlings. So, it’s a little out of date.
