Hi all,
If you guys are debating of and for satellite maps then this
wikipedia entry should interest you all.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satellite_imagery
Specificially this part
"GSD for Intelligence/Military purposes (see NRO) may have a
resolution of less than a centimeter with the potential for real-time
(live) imaging."
and
"Commercial satellite companies do not place their imagery into the
public domain and do not sell their imagery; instead, one must be
licensed to use their imagery."
A simple google search would throw what kind of commercial imagery and
maps are available.
A parallel to be drawn would be
http://ngm.nationalgeographic.com/ngm/0209/resources_geo.html and
http://www.planetizen.com/node/5107
This simply tells that better mapping should help in understanding how
and what happened and could also perhaps help detect patterns not
known other ways.
Of course, this means the workers (or supervisors I guess) would need
to be able to read, analyze and infer stuff from maps.
>From what little I know, we are not a map-friendly culture.
