Satellite map example
The satellite map presents satellite imagery for the world at multiple resolutions, down to 15 meters per pixel worldwide. The map also includes boundaries, place-names, and transportation reference layers for the world. This map is well suited for use as a natural view of the earth or as a basemap for overlaying environmental data layers, such as national park boundaries, hydrography, or ecozones.
