One Day its able to play GTA in google earth / maps data.
I think it is more data logging to the nearest data towers, Google has vehicles they send all over the world to drive down street by Street. Wouldn't need that if you have those magical satellites to do it for us.
97% wires…serves
Satellite is a mith… SEARCH IN GOOGLE FLAT EARTH……AND REAL PICHERS…
Deja Vu movie
Thanks America for the technology.America we trust and.America deliveries.American.dreams transcend colours and boundaries.Bravo America.Google applauds.
some one pass me a baby wipe,
there is a trace of shit all over the screen.
Layer. Google earth even fake. Antertica is fake.
What is clear is that we are living on an oblate spheroid.
Which is to say, "The Earth ain't flat DUMBASS!"
If thay use satlelighits y r all those google vans with camras all over them🤔
No. They simply don't need such high res satellites. What happens on my phones none of their business. We root phones for reasons.
I haven't interested
I think I will start hiding mannequins in clearings in the woods so that people might see it on maps and think its a body.
Google maps are photos taken from Airplanes. they cannot give you a life feed because they have to send an aiplane out there to do that. There are military plane circling over big cities 24/7; thats how they get live feeds. They do not have satellites. Otherwise they would not use Drones for surveillance in war zones. Earth is FLAT.
Satellites is just animation not real,
Google map takes by drone
You talk about satelite images but you are showing street view images taken from ground cameras. This might be misleading for some people.
Toooo much HAMMER rather than HOW GOOGLE MAP TAKES PICS AND WORKS… useless presentation…. WASTEFUL VIDEO
Google Maps sees dark field is weaponized2018a. d. —_nano
you forgot to talk about all the actual images they take on the earth everywhere. how do they do all that? obviously they drive all over the place, but how does the camera not see the car? how does the technology do that?! and they're constantly updating them too. i've seen some random meaningless place, and there's many different times of the place to see. they give you a whole timeline. you can see how things have changed. they must have a heck of a lot of people. plus what's the relationship with other countries too? cause we can all very well look pretty much anywhere.
I alway think they using Airbus to take image from sky…so that not true lah erkkk…..because i alway seen airbus word in google maps…😁
