Aug 13, 2014 · Google Maps shows a 1km ruler (bottom left of the map) which is 90 pixels in length, at zoom level 13. Which means the following: Assuming the screen resolution is 96 dpi or 36 dpcm, at zoom level 13 we have 0.4km (from 36/90) in 1cm, which yields map scale of 1:40,000 for a 96dpi screen.

I am trying to create a URL that will render google maps with: satellite map; a marker (pin) a specified zoom level; I feel like I'm going a little crazy!? This one is close, it is a satellite map, and has a marker, but does not respect the zoom parameter: http://maps.google.com/maps?&z=18&mrt=yp&t=k&q=40.7028722+-73.9868281
- You can tell it to use the satellite image by adding t=k. http://maps.google.com/maps?t=k&q=loc:37.9531784+-122.3383102. I you want the regular m...
- Take a closer look at the URLs, the second link you posted sounds like it is almost exactly what you want but it lacks the satellite view. When I w...

- USGS EarthNow (FarEarth Observer) The USGS pulls together Landsat 7 and 8 recordings through the EarthNow application. After a ground station receives a Landsat transmission, it takes just seconds for it to be uploaded on the USGS EarthNow platform.
- ISS Satellite Feed. It’s true that the International Space Station has a high-definition streaming video (HDEV) mounted on it. And if you haven’t seen it before, it’s one of the neatest things you can find on YouTube.
- Real-time Weather App. Weather apps like Ventusky leverage satellite layers from GOES-16, GOES-17, and EUMETSAT. Not only do you get near-real-time weather data, but it also includes forecasts.
Jun 23, 2011 · 7 Answers. Sorted by: 20. +50. The resolution of imagery in Google Earth varies depending on the source of the data. When you zoom out, you will see the nice, pretty global coverage produced from a mosaic of many Landsat scenes, which have a native resolution of ~30m (~15m pan-sharpened).
