The images appear to be of the same resolution as Google’s (which means lower resolution than MSN’s) but the images appear to be anti-aliased.
In addition to getting all the data we can, we’re processing the satellite imagery to make the visuals more aesthetically pleasing for users. We’re blending away seam lines and normalizing the color pallet to create a continuous plane of imagery.
