Google HD satellite map (Google will show the ratio of street view to the earth on the map)

As we all know, Google has photographed a large number of planets for its Street View and Google Earth projects. However, according to a report from CNET, Google revealed for the first time the world it captured: 10 million miles of street view images and 36 million square miles of Google Earth images.

Google's figures are particularly impressive: Google says it now covers 98 per cent of the world's population. The 10 million-mile street view puts Google ahead of competitors such as Apple. Apple has added similar street view photography to Apple Maps in iOS 13, which was released this year. However, Apple still has a long way to go to catch up with Google for millions of miles.

Of course, it also highlights the scope of Google's efforts to reorganize the world in terms of applications and services. Even if it's not the street view or Google Earth satellite image feature you use every day, it's still an important part of Google Maps. Ethan Russell, director of Google Maps products, told CNET: "Images are at the core of our work."We think this is the foundation of the whole mapping process."
