Super-duper-Zoom

Wednesday, 13 February, 2008

192.com have launched a beta version of their “Super Zoom” aerial imagery. I saw this on Mapperz last week and thought I would check it out. And yes, the UK is covered at 12.5cm (no surprise there) and central London at 4cm (although their press release doesn’t actually state the resolution, the date of acquisition or where the imagery came from)!! The Guardian have a thoughtful piece on the privacy implications. They interviewed 192.com’s CEO and note the 4cm resolution, flown during 2007 and licensed from the OS. Anyway, the data itself is amazing and well worth a look.
