The satellite map presents satellite imagery for the world at multiple resolutions, down to 15M 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 eco-zones.
