New Google Maps Satellite Imagery for Ka'anapali

When I started this website about three months ago, I was very interested (and still am) in adding aerial views of various parts of Maui using Google Maps, but was a little turned off by the quality of the satellite imagery in some of my favorite parts. You see, I use Flickr for all my photos and was using their geotagging feature to put those photos on their maps, which had much nicer looking satellite views.

But rejoice, because today I noticed that Google has updated some of their imagery and it's looking much better than it was before. Here's a shot of Ka'anapali Beach near the Sheraton.

There are still a few places like Hana that look very poor, but we can only assume that Google is getting to that, too.
