There’s a nice article in Technology Review, How Google Maps the World, with a simple explanation of the process from satellite to website. Makes it sound so easy. By the way, the company producing most of the high resolution satellite images is DigitalGlobe, and if you want to buy just one of the little snapshots, say a shot of the Dam Square as an 8 x 10 print, it will cost you $19.95, so I guess we can be happy Google is footing the bill for the earth. (Thank you Richard.)
