Google Maps has unveiled its latest enhancement, featuring improved satellite imagery resolution within the app. The latest update also extends the Street View feature's global coverage.
By utilising its Cloud Score and AI model, Google will identify and remove several additional objects such as clouds, haze, cloud shadows, and mist, providing users with sharper and clearer images on the Maps.
With all that executed, users will be able to get a more accurate look at Earth; however, the AI tool will work without removing other weather patterns such as snow, ice, and mountain shadows.
