Yahoo! Releases 1-meter/pixel Resolution for Continental US
Last night Yahoo! Maps beta released 1-meter/pixel resolution color satellite photos for the entire continental US. This is significant because it is more consistent data instead of the patchwork of varying color, black and white, varying resolution imagery we are used to in other mapping applications like Google Maps/Earth, and Windows Live Local. Yahoo! now has the best medium resolution dataset for the entire continental US. According to Cartography the initial release of Yahoo’s beta has some problems in that the imagery is too dark when zoomed out.
