What's the difference between SkyFi and Google Earth?

While Google certainly has its place here on Earth, you’ll quickly find that SkyFi isn’t a one-to-one Google Earth alternative. SkyFi gives users like you the power to capture satellite images from space at a chosen resolution, during a desired time frame, and in a specific place. Our satellites capture current images daily, allowing for near-real time data, whereas Google Earth typically displays images that are often outdated – sometimes by years. SkyFi offers resolutions as crisp as 30 cm consistently around the globe and a wide variety of sensors, including multispectral and video. Google Earth imagery is typically captured during the daytime in the summer, and is only displayed with optical sensors, similar to those used on your mobile device. Google Earth resolutions typically range from 15-30 cm depending on the location, and are often captured from planes, rather than satellites. For more information, visit our blog.
