This release is down to zoom level 8, which is roughly 500 m to 1 km/px – what I think of as regional rather than local. You’re seeing mountain ranges and river valleys, not what you have planted in your garden.
Right now with this project we’re thinking about how to serve people making small- to medium-scale maps on topics like global environmental issues, shipping, travel, etc. At higher zoom levels (higher resolutions), our more conventional satellite and aerial imagery seems to be meeting people’s needs for now.
