Google Updates Imagery of Japan After The Earthquake
It's now the third week after the devastating 9.0-magnitude earthquake that struck northeastern Japan, and Google has published updated satellite imagery of northeast Japan in Google Maps and Google Earth, which illustrated the massive scale of devastation in the affected areas.
Google today published imagery of the Sendai region at even higher resolution, which we collected on Sunday and Monday. The new Sendai imagery, along with satellite imagery from throughout the area, is now live in the base imagery layer of Google Earth and will soon be visible in Google Maps.
