Google adds satellite images to UK maps from Netimperative covers the recent addition of
satellite imagery to Google Maps UK. How far you can can zoom in? Like with US satellite imagery, it depends on the specific location.
For example, here’s the London Eye (I’ve zoomed-in as far as
possible). However, this is the
highest level of detail
available for the Stonehenge area. Danny’s house, about two miles away, can’t be seen. Neither can the 20,000 people who
celebrated the summer solstice there this morning. But that would have required real-time aerial
coverage. 192.com also provides free access to aerial imagery for the UK.
