The news popped Thursday night. Of course the bird is not in the sky yet (it launches next week) and the imagery won’t be available for another 45- 60 days. But after that assuming all is well with the satellite and receiving stations, Google will add the .41 meter to Google Maps and Google Earth.
No word on the price tag, but it should be a good deal: the deal stipulates the imagery not go to any other on-line mapping websites. And, if it matters, Google’s logo is on the rocket.
