GoogleMaps SuperZoom Chad Screenshot – Camel!
Geekologie reports:
Google Maps apparently has a super zoom function for certain locations. Some of them are additional images inserted for partners like National Geographic, but others are actual satelilite photos of random locations … The original zoom levels were okay, but this is to the point where privacy is actually an issue.
Above is a Google Earth screenshot of the example location provided in the article. All of this technology to violate the privacy of that poor camel!
You think they could zoom in on City Hall?
The max zoom I get on our City Hall is 19, enough to see Nagin’s window, but not look in.
I like that they’re starting to add building outlines in the Map view.
They must be doing some edge detection on the satellite photos to generate those.
Cool. Check the Tech section of today’s Wal Street Journal for mapping in Portland.
But can it see the warts on a toad’s nose?
Telefoto! Telefoto!
this is a fake photo.
see the man seeing at camara!
