SPOT IMAGE, la empresa francesa que desde 1986 adquiere imágenes satelitales de alta resolución, informa que llegó a un acuerdo con Google para suministrarle imágenes de todo el mundo. Google las usará en sus servicios gratuitos y pagos de Google Earth y Google Maps. La resolución de las imágenes en cuestión es de 2,5 metros y son del satélite SPOT 5.
A partir de hoy ya se podrán ver en ambos servicios de Google las imágenes del SPOT 5 de algunas áreas de Francia, Bélgica, Luxemburgo, España y Portugal. Voceros de ambas companias dijeron:
We always look to work with the best satellite imagery providers and are very pleased to be working with a French company. Giving our users access to the highest quality images is very important for us. We hope this will help them explore more of our planet from above", says Mats Carduner, Head of France and Southern Europe for Google.
"This cooperation with Google is a great opportunity to enlarge the community of people who enjoy the images taken by the SPOT satellites, and to show all the benefits of earth observation from space. I am convinced it will contribute to growing public interest for this technology. We are very enthusiastic at Spot Image about this cooperation.", says Hervé Buchwalter, President & CEO, Spot Image.
