    I was looking at Google Maps map of Ireland.

    A few sections of the country are photographed from a satellite. Does anyone know if Google will eventually photogrpah the entire country?

    Google gets its photography from a variety of sources, but I don't think that they do it themselves.

    They are constantly adding higher-resolution pictures to their system... so yeah, at some point I would imagine the entire country will be done.

    They do most of it themselves sine they bought Keyhole awhile ago (satellite imaging company).
