1.i just wanted to know that from where google and bing got the complete earth images or satellite imaginary?
2.is it possible to get data like that for a individual person?
i found a question about google maps working at stackoverflow but it doesn’t answer my question.
-Thanks in advance.
Google, Yahoo!, Microsoft, Michelin, Yandex and a lot others bought their data from various providers. They are usually named on the specific map and there isn’t only one provider.
or
If you want free to use map data you can take a look at http://www.openstreetmap.org/ .
If you want free satellite map data then it’s more complicated. This looks promising: http://worldwind.arc.nasa.gov/java/ .
