June 22, 2005 at 2:50PM Google Maps has World Satellite Imagery
Google put up satellite imagery today, some of it detailed (though not quite to the levels I’d like). The detailed stuff is still a little patchy. For instance, in Dublin they’ve only covered the north side of the city, Galway isn’t covered (except by cloud), Limerick is just a technicolour blob, and so is Belfast. Cork is completely covered though. I thought I’d post up some vanity links.
- Digital Crew headquarters right in the city centre.
- My flat right at at the end of Rutland Street.
- Cork Institute of Technology, where I got my degree. It’s centred on the IT building.
- Aclare! Albeit without detail.

MapQuest, even though it doesn’t have satellite imagery and completely misspells the names of places (it’s Tourlestrane and Kilmactigue, you fools!) actually manages to show it.
[Aside: the misspellings are down to Sligo County Council, who decided to change the spelling to something more “phonetic”. Tools. Still no excuse though.]

FWIW, Google (through Keyhole) has Limerick mapped with all major streets shown but the resolution is too blurry to port to the public (free) Google Maps service.
