Google Sightseeing

Google Sightseeing, a blog featuring highlights from Google Maps satellite view.

A quick update before we return to our scheduled postings. In the past 3 days this site has used up 25% of our monthly bandwidth limit so we’d be extremely thankful to anyone who contributed a small amount via the Paypal link in the right hand menu - all proceeds will go to keeping this site online in the coming weeks!

Thanks also to everyone who has posted links to Google Sightseeing on their blogs, forums and social bookmarks, we really appreciate your support. We’d be really grateful if you didn’t hotlink our images though (It would be better if you downloaded images and host them on your own site).

Google's acquisition of Keyhole finally makes powers all of this. Google Maps now has a satellite view, at least low resolution, views of the whole planet.
