Google Maps?
Hi, I'm wondering how the aerial photos on Google Maps are created? Are they taken by a helicopter or a drone? Because I've never seen a helicopter fly over my house taking an aerial photo or something like that.
Because in Google maps when you go to satellite images you can see all the houses and streets
… pictures of Google Maps (e.g. satellite images, street view photos, map material) come from various sources, including:
on the one hand by Google itself – for maps, satellite images (partly by Google Earth).
Third-party providers – e.g. Maxar, Landsat, Copernicus, CNES/Airbus, NOAA, USGS, etc. (see map-copyright instructions).
Street view photos – uploaded by Google cameras or users.
User contributions – photos of places uploaded by individuals or companies.
The exact source of an image can be found directly in Google Maps below right in the copyright info or by right-clicking on an image → “image source” or “image details”.

For some time there has been something like satellite 😉
These are satellite images. But unfortunately not in real time.
I think that’s just good satellites that can “purely zoom”.

The satellite and aerial images in Google Earth recorded with cameras on satellites and aircraft that generate the recordings on a specific date and at a certain time.
There are good saddles.
Satellite images are made by satellites.
