This sort of seems like piling on . Google justadded a bunch of new high Re figure to its maps . That means its overhead satellite data should be even more up to date , and its 45 - degree Flyover - similar double will be more abundant .
Fifty one new cities get the update to 45 - degree images , which show city from the slant so you may make out detail in watershed that are impossible to see from unbowed overhead shaft from satellites . The data for 17 major cities and 112 countries or regions was updated , which is workaday maintenance . But the two updates are also in all likelihood a thumb in the nozzle to Apple , which issued an apology about how ill its own single-valued function system is performing .
matter is , while this can be seen as a miniskirt - shot taken at Apple , the 45 - degree aspect refresh is also a move to keep up with competitors . Bing ’s single-valued function have had Bird ’s Eye View for a while now , and for as balmy as Flyover is , it ’s similar functionality . So Google ’s not just flex ; it ’s playing out the arms race , too .
