Google Maps continues to include some higher resolution images (if not maps) for some parts of the planet. I was able to find the place where I used to live in Santiago at the level of buildings and houses. And here is where I used to study Just have a look at the centre of the pictures.
Distances between Christchurch places where I have lived at some point of my life (obtained using Geobyte’s city distance tool):
- Hobart, Australia: 2442 km.
- Palmerston North, New Zealand: 431 km.
- Valdivia, Chile: 8647 km.
- Mendoza, Argentina: 9487 km.
- Valera, Venezuela: 12876 km.
- Los Teques, Venezuela: 13255 km.
- Santiago, Chile: 9351 km.
- Concepcion, Chile: 8930 km.
It should be relatively easy to tag the images with every conceivable story that one is blogging about, although a bit time consuming. However, for most places I write about, imagery resolution is too broad for anything useful. I am sure it is just a matter of waiting a couple of years to sort out this issue.
