Help/FAQ/Satellite Images
From Wikimapia
Why is the picture of my town/village so bad?
Why can't I zoom in more in a certain area?
Can you update the map in my location because it is too blurry/low resolution quality?
Unfortunately, Wikimapia cannot update the satellite/aerial imagery. The satellite/aerial imagery used in Wikimapia is provided by Google Earth. Wikimapia uses Google Earth's satellite/aerial imagery as a reference source to build its own maps. When Google Earth updates its satellite/aerial imagery, the satellite/aerial imagery used in Wikimapia shall also be updated. Click here for more information.
