Google Earth puts high-resolution images of Panay on the map

Posted by Marcos C.

You can now get to see actual buildings in selected areas of Panay Island through Google Earth, which has recently released high-resolution images of the island. Google Earth is a free virtual globe application, where you can tour around the world and see satellite images of places. About 2 days ago, Google Earth released the hi-res images for Iloilo City, Guimaras (Jordan, Sibunag, San Lorenzo), Aklan (Kalibo), Antique (Pandan, Hamtik, Sibalom, San Jose), and also Negros Occidetnal (Moises de Padilla, Isabela, Murcia and La Carlota). Having high-resolution images mean that you can see buildings, houses, and even cars on the road.

Great post. I can’t wait for google to add more Filipino cities to Google Maps. You can already look up Manila.
I am soon going to visit Iloilo City and the Visayas in order to update the Visayas section of the Lonely Planet guide. If you or any of your readers have any “must sees” for the Visayas please let me know. You can add suggestions to the comments section this post here. Look forward to hearing from you!
