How Google Maps Works-Satellite map (Google Earth)

Instead of the Euclidean vector map, the Google map also provides the satellite map which is taken by the satellite on the universe. By using the satellite map, people can directly see whole world even the small houses or the people on the beach on the map. However, the satellite map was taken in a few years ago. Therefore, the map maybe is not so accurate. People should only do consultation on the map.
It is the whole earth on the satellite map. On the satellite map, people can also see the terrain on the map. People can see the mountains in Europe, ice in the South Pole, plain in Brazil, and forest in Congo.

The satellite map provides lots of information for drivers, too.

People can see small cars and small people on the map.
