Smile, Sydney: You’re on Google Maps!
Google is now on the way to prepare some close-up aerial shots of the fair city on Google Maps – The shots would be taken from low flying plane; Google has secured permission to leap down as low as 600 meters (approximately 1,970 feet).
This is the first time Google is trying to do anything on this scale, according to the SMA’s report: Lars Rasmussen, lead of engineering for Google Australia and one of the head engineers for Google Maps. She further says that the images would add a few more zoom levels to the local Google maps and will give three or four times more detailed than currently accessible Australian terrain on Google Maps.
