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.
