ultra high-resolution satellite photos of Brazil
The latest update to the satellite images used by Google in Google Earth and Google Maps brought maximum resolution to existing coverage for at least three important tourist destinations in Brazil: Florianópolis, Salvador and São Paulo. As well as the cities of Brasilia and Goiania.
These ultra high-resolution images show an spectacular level of detail.
1. Florianópolis
The area with maximum resolution is quite smallish and basically encompasses the urban centre of the island. The Mercado Público and the Puente Hercílio Luz are two structures than can be seen in detail.

Because the Christmas Tree at the Parque do Ibirapuera can be spotted we estimate the images are quite recent.
