Sample of the New Imagery, click for detailsGoogle has taken the initiative to reposition their imaging equipment for another higher-resolution pass of the damaged Haiti areas, resulting in a new near-15cm resolution scan now available online.

These images were gathered on Sunday (January 17). You can currently view the imagery in Google Maps in Satellite mode. It will also be available via the Google Maps API and in Google Map Maker. As of this morning, this high-resolution imagery is now available as the base imagery in Google Earth (all previous imagery of Haiti will be included in the Historical Imagery feature) and has been published in the Haiti Earthquake KML layer. We're also making this imagery directly available to relief organizations.

Just hit Google Maps Satellite mode to see the devastation.
