Answer 3

Official definition...a virtual globe program that shows the earth by the superimposition of images obtained from satellite imagery, aerial Photography and GIS over a 3D globe

There are 2 different modes� Sky view (which is satelite images of overhead shots) or Street View (which is new, they are panoramic on-ground images - based on roads only because the cameras where attached to cars)

Some resolutions arent great if the area is not popular/heavily populated. Rural areas tend to be pretty fuzzed out or you can't zoom in as much. Some images that are dangerous to national security are blurred so you can't see exactly what is going on. There was a fear that terrorists would just be able to google a buidling or landmark to map out locations.
