Yahoo! Maps Satellite Imagery

Satellite imagery was added to the Yahoo! Maps beta last night; high-resolution (1-metre) imagery is now available for the continental U.S.; the rest of the world must make do with medium-resolution (15-metre) imagery. Yahoo! says that they’ve also taken the time to process the imagery so that it doesn’t have the quilted appearance that Google’s satellite photos do, which is a nice touch. More from O’Reilly Radar and Cartography.

Update, April 17: More from the Monkey Bites blog, which also notes other improvements to the Yahoo! Maps interface and feature set.

This sounds rather interesting, but the hybrid and satellite view will not display when I view a map, only a blank space with a center point for the location that was looked up.
