In 2021, significant advancements were made in enhancing the realism of Earth visualizations by integrating updated imagery and terrain data through GL JS v2, culminating in impressive 3D visualizations. The year concluded with the addition of new aerial imagery for Spain and Luxembourg, sourced from local geographical institutions, as part of a broader initiative that saw over 1,000,000 square kilometers of new imagery added in Europe. Additionally, the United States benefited from updates such as 50 cm satellite imagery and a new aerial layer using NAIP data, providing comprehensive coverage and improved context for app developers. Efforts extended to other European nations, including the Netherlands, Switzerland, France, Portugal, Germany, and Austria, with high-resolution imagery enhancing the detail and accuracy of visualizations. The lifting of restrictions allowed for the addition of high-resolution imagery over Israel and Palestine, further enhancing the global update. These developments, combined with updates to the global terrain layer, have significantly improved the realism of 3D experiences, particularly in mountainous regions, and set the stage for continued enhancements in 2022.
