Much of the available satellite imagery is no more than three years old and is updated on a regular basis, according to a 2011 report. Google Maps' satellite view is a "top-down" or bird's-eye view most of the high-resolution imagery of cities is aerial photography taken from aircraft flying at 800 to 1,500 feet (240 to 460 m), while most other imagery is from satellites. However, crowdsourced contributions to Google Maps were not discontinued as the company announced those features would be transferred to the Google Local Guides program. Google Map Maker allowed users to collaboratively expand and update the service's mapping worldwide but was discontinued from March 2017.
Google Maps offers an API that allows maps to be embedded on third-party websites, and offers a locator for businesses and other organizations in numerous countries around the world. The service's front end utilizes JavaScript, XML, and Ajax. After additional acquisitions of a geospatial data visualization company and a real-time traffic analyzer, Google Maps was launched in February 2005. In October 2004, the company was acquired by Google, which converted it into a web application.
Google Maps began as a C++ desktop program developed by brothers Lars and Jens Rasmussen at Where 2 Technologies. As of 2020, Google Maps was being used by over one billion people every month around the world. It offers satellite imagery, aerial photography, street maps, 360° interactive panoramic views of streets ( Street View), real-time traffic conditions, and route planning for traveling by foot, car, bike, air (in beta) and public transportation. Google Maps is a web mapping platform and consumer application offered by Google.
Any partnerships or business relationships we may have with any transportation service providers do not influence the ranking of these services.C++ (back-end), JavaScript, XML, Ajax (UI) These mobility services are provided by third parties who have made their transport data publicly available or who have a partner agreement with us. Where available, we also show you other mobility services like public transport, scooter or bicycle rentals, and vehicle ride services. Generally, the most important factors are your mode preference, trip durations, and sometimes price. These factors can include duration, distance, price, your mode preference, or the relevance of a mode to your query. Sometimes, the transport options we show you are ranked according to a combination of objective factors designed to help you find relevant and useful information. When you enter a destination in Google Maps, we show you how to get there using different travel modes, like driving, cycling, or walking.
