Google Maps Adds Drone Imagery

Posted by timothy on from the hook-'em-horns-but-closer dept.

joshuadugie writes "Slashdot carried a story a while ago that Google had purchased drones for unknown purposes. Google Maps has now added new non-satellite imagery (at UT Austin, for example) when you zoom in close enough. Mystery solved!" I'd like to think that there really are (or were) drones over Austin, but would also like to see Google's explanation for the close-up images.

    I sometimes go get the mail in boxer shorts. Crap. I better stop doing that. My neighbors don't mind or even notice, but it's really not for the world to see.
