Google Earth Drone View

[rydfree]

Wouldn't it be nice if Google Earth could tap into the vast drone use today and incorporate user submitted aerial views of the landscape for higher definition street views ? Set minimum and maximum limits for altitude of course . Maybe min 150' with max at 400' . it would be a cool way to get updated pics of ones property but I guess you would have people doing stupid stuff in the pics just to get their minute of fame on GE as they try to do with Youtube . Google will probably get a drone of there own before too long that constantly flies around getting aerial pics .

Lol. I prefer my privacy. And don't want the town being able to check in.

I think you can upload google photo spheres, also from a drone. I have created some with my phone from ground level, see below. I think we should also be able to use the stitched photo spheres that you create with ICE and upload to facebook. Haven't tried that yet.
