Many users would like to enjoy satellite photos of their native places, to see their home, nearby river or forest, while everything is something called "Malaya Motherland". The tool for implementing this desire can be satellite cartographic services that provide a unique feature of viewing in the detailed graphical mode of all required geolockations.

At the same time, the absolute majority of such services use the API from "Google Maps", and only a few services (including domestic "Yandex.Maps") can boast their own cartographic machines other than the dominant cards in this segment of Google.

You go to one of them, if necessary, turn on satellite display, and then enter your address in the search string (locality, street, house number). After that, the service finds the required location, and you can enlarge or reduce the displayed display using the mouse. If the service for some reason does not find your home, I recommend entering the name of the city (village, village) and the street, and then find the right home yourself with the mouse.
At the same time, some services allow not only to see their house from above, but also take a walk through the streets of the hometown, and close to enjoy the kind of buildings you need.

Many users are interested in online satellite maps, giving an opportunity to enjoy the view of the favorite places of our planet. There is enough number of such services in the network, while all their diversity should not be misleading - most of these sites use the classic API from "Google Maps". However, there are also a number of resources using their own tools for creating high quality satellite cards. In this material, I will talk about the best high-resolution satellite maps available online in 2017-2018, as well as explain how to use them.
When creating satellite cards of the earth's surface, both snapshots from cosmic satellites and photos from special aircraft, allowing photographing at the height of bird flight (250-500 meters).
The satellite cards created in this way are regularly updated, and usually pictures with them have age no more than 2-3 years.
Most network services do not have opportunities to create their own satellite cards. Usually they use cards from other, more powerful services (usually google MAPS). At the same time, at the bottom (or at the top) of the screen, you can find a mention of the copyright of any company to demonstrate maps data.
Viewing satellite real-time satellite cards is now not available for a regular user, since such a toolkit is used mainly for military purposes. Maps are available to users, photos for which over the past months (or even years). It is worth understanding that any military facilities can be deliberately naked in order to hide them from interested parties.

Russia or the Russian Federation is a unique country with regard to European and Asian features. The map of Russia is striking: the country occupies a huge territory of 17 million km 2 and is located simultaneously in the territory of Northern Asia and Eastern Europe.
143 million people live in Russia. The Russian Federation It is a kind of "melting pot of nations": representatives of more than 200 nationalities live here. The country is the federal republic with the presidential form of government. The territory of the country is divided into 46 regions, 9 edges, 21 republics, 4 autonomous districts, one autonomous region and 2 cities of federal significance. It is noteworthy that the Kaliningrad region is located in the European Union and has no borders from the Russian Federation.
Today, Russia is one of the dynamically developing states that prefer world politics. The Russian Federation is a member of numerous global political organizations such as the UN and "G8". Despite the relative stability and significant development of the country after the fall of the Soviet regime, the Russian economy depends largely on energy resources, in particular from prices for oil and gas.
The capital of Russia is Moscow - one of the most expensive and beautiful cities in the world.
Historical reference
The Russian Federation is the successor of several states. The country leads its history from 862, when Kievan Rus was formed. In the XII century, numerous Russian principalities were located in Russia, which in the XV century were united to the Russian state. Since 1721, King Peter I created Russian Empire. In 1917, the revolutionary movement of socialism overthrew the monarchical regime and first formed the Russian republic first, then the RSFSR, and in 1922 the USSR.
During the Soviet regime, the country from other countries of the world was separated by the "iron curtain", some consequences of which were still not liquidated. In 1991, the collapse of the USSR occurred, and the Russian Federation appeared.

For most objects on the map of Russia - Satellite photos of Google Maps are considered the best quality
The quality of the satellite photography often depends on the region, because satellite images need to be constantly updated. Therefore, different providers can have a different photo quality for a particular city or region. However, the best pictures of the photo in most cases are in Google Maps.

Open Street Maps.
OSM is a phenomenon of a modern computer society, because the card is making simple people (Volunteers volunteers), (unlike the 2GIS card and others). But despite this, OSM is considered the most accurate and detailed map not only for Russia, but also for the whole world. Even such giants like Yandex or Google cannot make cards as accurately and effectively, as it makes the community of enthusiastic enthusiast cartographers. New buildings (namely, it is easy to determine the relevance and "freshness" of the card) are almost always present on OSM (and even the foundations of new buildings), while in Google and Yandex they may be present alternately, or not at all. In addition, Open Street Maps Probably the only card on which paths in parks and forests are displayed and many other additional objects that are usually not on other services.

Yandex.Map in real time or online is a special service from yandex. It provides users with various information, namely it will pave the route, will show a state on real-time roads (including traffic jams) and even review of high-quality streets in the form of panoramas.
Yandex.Mapart service appeared in 2004 and today in 2018, cards for many countries are available from a high quality satellite. Until 2017, the data provided "NPTEK", after which Yandex goes to a new mode of operation and data will be own. You can use the ability to pave your route even when you use 2 different countries for this.
2 Services Map Yandex and Google Maps compared Ukrainian journalists in travel mode. Maps from Yandex 2018 provide a driver with a large number of different information - the remainder of the time is of course the point, all encountered turns on the way, the speed with which the driver is allowed to move, etc. In turn, the lack of all the transport incidents that happened on the way following
With the same problem, and the service from foreign company Several times on the way proposes to cross the road in the wrong place (2 solid). Both services coped with the driver who is not familiar with the route, about the same time. The paths for the experiment were used different.
Map features from Yandex in 2018
Not only are the Yandex maps from the satellite allow you to view the various area of \u200b\u200bthe earth's surface, various countries, cities and oceans. They are able to show you the events that happened in real time in high quality. All this is achieved using online webcams that are installed in many points of all country megacities. Thus, the user opens up great opportunities in view of various ambitious events at all points of the planet, such as rock concerts.
We do not always have the opportunity to use the Internet, so Yandex has developed special cards for Android and iOS users, which can be downloaded for the device and enjoy offline mode. A feature of such cards is that they began to "weigh" much less. For example, a Moscow map from the satellite in 2018 takes only 144 MB, compared with the previous version in which it weighs almost 2 GB. The company has achieved such a decrease in the amount of data by applying vector graphics instead of raster, in which a variety of photos are used by panoramas of a different scale. Vector graphic allows you to increase the image without loss of quality, although with less detail.
Comparison of vector and raster graphics
On Offline maps were also added to several improvements that provide comfort in their use. When you use the app and open the view of the Yandex map from the satellite, on a specific city street, it can be rotated or tilt for better orientation. Thus, if you observed the street in the top view, then you can tilt the card in the form of a first person. Another innovation is the permanent display of the street name, even if the plug mode is enabled.
