Recently the http://google.earth.com website has uploaded stunningly beautiful and breathtaking high resolution satellite imagery of coastal Goa. The resolution is 10-15 metres which is excellent for even research work.
Interesting images can be downloaded as JPG files. The most striking and true coloured, untouched images released by GOOGLE EARTH are of the island of Tiswadi and the talukas of Marmagoa and Bardez. The citizens of Panaji can now enjoy an exciting tour of their well designed city from space. The elevation model gives three dimensional rotatory terrain view. It shows the typical Portuguese influenced geometrical ground plan of the city. All the roads and buildings of Panaji are clear in the images. The images show why Panaji is so vulnerable to flooding. The software automatically shows the elevation of any area when the pointer is moved over it. This is great for town planners, engineers and architects. The low lying areas around the city indicate an elevation which is much below the tidal height of six metres.
