Google Earth: Shanghai gets new satellite images
While just opening up my Google Maps Mobile on my Pocket PC, I instantly realized that something has changed with the satellite images of Shanghai. All of a sudden our compound was not just an open field anymore but I could see the building I live in. Opening up Google Earth on my laptop confirmed: Shanghai got some new shiny pimped up satellite images. It was about time since the old ones where over 4 years old. At that time the Shanghai World Financial Center (which was burning today by the way) was not even started and Lupu Bridge was only half way built across the river. The new images I would say are between 3-4 months old and cover complete downtown Shanghai and also Pudong. So go and have a look for yourself!
