 We know this is not really hot news, and we're even a few days late on this, but as nothing has been going on lately, I thought this is interesting enough to deserve an article.
Google's World mapping service - Google Earth (earth.google.com) has recently improved Malta's aerial photo from extremely low detail to a decently detailed one. It's not as detailed as in the UK and USA, but it's definitely a great improvement. Interestingly enough, however, Google didn't get a complete photo of our islands. The improved part is between Qormi and Xaghra - Gozo. Therefore, the Southern part of Malta and the Northern part of Gozo are still in the dark. But still, the new images gives a better perspective of where our localities are situated. I was impressed on how much some villages are separated from the other. We're not really living in one whole chunk of building.
The screenshot was taken in the part where the old low-resolution photo and the new photo join.

... waiting for a higher resolution. For a moment I thought Google didn't knew that Malta exists
