These maps are very useful for the everyday users as well as for cartographers as they depict the image of the surroundings from a higher elevation via a plane or helicopter and in the old days they would use balloons. These cameras used allow the infrared part of the image to be captured which allows layers of the image to be document and sorted through. Google maps uses these maps to help with driving directions and as well as observing certain locations via computer.
