Google Maps is a leader among modern mapping services providing satellite interactive maps online. At least the leader in the field of satellite imagery and in the number of various additional services and tools (Google Earth, Google Mars, various weather and transport services, one of the most powerful APIs).
In the field of schematic maps, at some point, this leadership was “lost” in favor of Open Street Maps, a unique Wikipedia-style mapping service where each volunteer can enter data on the site.
However, despite this, the popularity of Google Maps remains perhaps one of the highest of all other mapping services. Part of the reason is that it is in Google Maps that we can find the most detailed satellite photos for the most extensive regions of any country. Even in Russia, such a large and successful company as Yandex cannot surpass the quality and coverage of satellite photographs, at least in their own country.
With Google Maps, anyone can view satellite photos of the Earth for free from almost anywhere in the world.
Image quality
Pictures of the high definition usually available to the largest cities in the world in America, Europe, Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, Asia, Oceania. Currently, high-quality imagery is available for cities with more than 1 million inhabitants. For less major cities and other settlements, satellite images are only available in limited resolution.
Opportunities
Google Maps or "Google Maps" was a real discovery for Internet users and indeed for all PC users, giving an unheard-of and previously unseen opportunity to look at their home, their village, cottage, lake or river where they rested in the summer - from a satellite. To see it from above, from such an angle, from which it would be impossible to see it under any other circumstances. The discovery, the very idea of giving people easy access to satellite photos, fits harmoniously into the overall Google concept of "easy access to all users to any information on the planet."
Google Maps allows you to see from the satellite at the same time those things and objects that cannot be observed at the same time when observed from the ground. Satellite maps are different from regular topics, What's on simple maps colors and natural shapes natural objects distorted by editorial processing for further publication. However, all the naturalness of nature and shooting objects, natural colors, shapes of lakes, rivers, fields and forests are preserved in satellite photographs.
Looking at the map, one can only guess what is there: a forest, a field or a swamp, while on a satellite photo it is immediately clear: objects are usually round or oval in shape of a unique marsh color and there are swamps. Light green patches or areas in the photo are fields, while dark green are forests. With sufficient experience of orientation in Google Maps, you can even distinguish between coniferous forest or mixed: coniferous has a more brown tint. Also on the map you can distinguish specific broken lines, piercing the forests and fields of the vast Russian expanses - this railways. Only by looking from a satellite can one understand that railways affect the natural landscape that surrounds them much more than roads. Also in Google Maps it is possible to superimpose maps with the names of regions, roads, settlements on a national scale and the names of streets, house numbers, metro stations on a city scale on a satellite image of an area or city.
Map Mode and Satellite View Mode
In addition to satellite images, it is possible to switch to the "map" mode, in which it is possible to view any territory on the Earth's surface or to study in detail the layout and location of houses in any more or less large city. In the "map" mode, it is especially convenient to plan moving around the city if you have already seen enough satellite views of your city.
The house number search function will easily point you to right house giving the opportunity to "look around" the area around this house and how you can drive up / approach it. To search for the required object, it is enough to type in Russian in the search bar a query like: "City, street, house number" and the site will show you the location of the object you are looking for with a special marker.
How to use Google Maps
To get started, open a location.
To move around the map, left-click on the map and drag it in any order. To return to the original position, press the centering button located between the four direction buttons.
To enlarge the map - click on the button "+" or roll the mouse roller when the cursor is over the map. You can also enlarge the map double click mice in the place you are interested in.
To switch between satellite, mixed (hybrid) view and map, use the corresponding buttons in the upper right corner of the map: Map / Satellite / Hybrid.
Many users would like to enjoy a satellite map of Russia online, see some memorable places that are associated with a lot of bright and colorful memories. This can be helped by various network services that provide such an opportunity in real time. V this material I will tell you where on the network you can look at maps of Russia from a satellite, and which network services are the best in 2018.
On the web you can find a large number of services representing the possibility of viewing the territory of Russia using satellite photos. The whole variety of such services should not be misleading - most of them use the API from Google Maps, some use the capabilities of Yandex.Maps, a few use Bing maps from Microsoft.
Working with such services is quite simple.
At the same time, a number of services (the same Google Maps and Yandex.Maps) allow you to use the "street view" mode, in which you can virtually walk along the selected streets, enjoying the view around you.
Consider services that allow us to see a map of Russia from a satellite online.
Google Maps - view the cities of Russia from the satellite
The most popular mapping service in the world is Google Maps. It includes a mode of displaying the territory of the Earth from a satellite, a street map (including a 360-degree panoramic view). Also, the state of street traffic in real time, the laying of optimal routes (for a pedestrian, a cyclist, a car driver), and other convenient features. To view the most popular and beautiful places on our planet, Google created a service in which a panoramic view is available.
In order to open a map of Russia from a satellite in Google Maps, switch to the satellite map display mode at the bottom left. Then, in the search bar, enter the name of the toponym you need in Russia, and press enter (or find it with the mouse).
To turn on the street view mode, there is a button with a drawn yellow man on the bottom right.
Google Maps is the most visited map service in the world.
Yandex.Maps - the best satellite map of Russia
Yandex.Maps is one of the most popular mapping services in Russia. Its popularity among the Russian audience is not surprising - the service boasts the highest data update rate for Russia compared to competitors (which is especially important for displaying traffic jams). At the same time, in addition to satellite maps and the “Street Panoramas and Photos” mode (similar to Google’s street view mode), its functionality includes a tool called “People’s Map”, which is a crowdsourcing data collection system in which each user can edit the map (with moderation condition).
- To view Russia from a satellite, go to the yandex.ru service.
- In the search bar on the left, you can enter the data of the geographic location you need, or find the institution you need nearby by clicking on the appropriate button.
- To switch to street view mode, click on the "Street panorama and photos" button at the bottom right.
The initial screen of the service from "Yandex" makes it possible to quickly find the desired institution nearby
Infokart.ru - a detailed map with a view of the streets and houses
The domestic service infokart.ru is good, first of all, because it combines on one page of the site both the functionality of the Bing satellite maps from Microsoft and the maps of the non-commercial web-map project OpenStreetMap.org, allowing you to view maps of Russia from a satellite online.
By going to the infokart.ru service page, you can enjoy both satellite maps of Russia and a detailed map of many Russian cities.
Wikimapia with details to cities and houses
The international project "Wikimapia" is an online geographic encyclopedia that combines the API from "Google.Maps" with the principle of free data editing adopted in Wikipedia. The founders of the project were domestic developers Alexander Koryakin and Evgeny Savelyev in 2006. Now the project unites more than 2.5 million users who have entered information about tens of millions of objects into the system database.
The goal of the project is to collect and organize data on geographical objects, information about which can be obtained by anyone.
- To work with the site, go to the site wikimapia.org.
- Select the Russian interface from the top (instead of EN - RU), then in the search bar on the right, enter the name of the object you need to view it.
- To enter your own data (the "Add object" button), or edit existing ones (the "Edit" button), you will need to register in the system.
- The "Categories" button will allow you to search for the desired category (shops, stadiums, hotels, parks, and so on).
Maps-online.ru - cataloged map service
A feature of the maps-online.ru card service is properly cataloged information. When you go to the resource, you can select the region of Russia you need, then the district, and the locality.
In the process of viewing, you can also choose which satellite maps you need - from Google or from Yandex.
Conclusion

The capabilities of satellites today are simply fantastic. It turns out that there is another equally interesting activity - satellite fishing!
If you have:
1) Satellite dish
2) Computer DVB tuner (DVB-PCI tuner, DVB card)
Then you can go fishing. But what can we catch and what is the point here?
And the meaning is this - by sending a request for the issuance (download) of a file, you send a request to a special server, while the answer comes via satellite to the receiving dish. The request is sent by one, and anyone can accept it, because the satellite does not know where a particular user is and transmits information to everyone who falls within its coverage area. In order to receive the file, you need special card to receive a signal from. The card has a unique number by which the satellite identifies the recipient, allowing him to receive discrete data. In turn, the "fisherman" catches the entire stream, all user information from some provider. In order to catch something worthwhile from this stream, special grabber programs are needed, in which there are filters where you can specify file extensions, size, etc. The only thing is that the grabbers determine the file not by the extension, but by the file signature, so you will additionally need to download codes with filters. You will also need renamers to sort files into directories, remove unnecessary ones and clones.
Who knows, maybe you will catch something "big" or stumble upon information from the "Top secret" section, which will bring a little romance and adventurous notes into your life.
