The global imagery layer, managed by the Satellite team, is a 4 petabyte dataset sourced from a combination of satellites and airplanes, optimized for recency and visual quality across varying zoom levels. This imagery layer serves multiple use cases, including business, scientific, humanitarian, and governmental applications, by providing visual context and enabling detailed extraction and analysis. The team prioritizes updates based on industry use, customer feedback, and internal data on tile requests, with a focus on high-resolution data sets for areas with significant demand. Efforts have been made to enhance the basemap by using anonymized telemetry to understand customer usage patterns, leading to data-driven decisions for imagery allocation and ensuring frequent updates in high-demand areas. Aiming to maintain high-quality imagery, particularly in the contiguous United States, the team is also exploring new offerings to provide users with greater control over the imagery they access.
