It is understood that this is the first satellite image product in China that applies the latest data. It is the first time to release high-definition imaging services for 21 cities, including all seven Olympic cities. Using Sogou Satellite Image Map does not require downloading. You can freely switch by opening the web version of Sogou Map. Through the satellite image service provided by Sogou Map, users can clearly see buildings, cars, trees on the ground, and even road markings. According to informed sources, "the highest resolution reaches 0.5 meters/pixel, which is already the limit of world commercial satellite image services."

Through this service, Internet users can easily distinguish whether a car on the ground is a two-box or three-box car, and can quickly find the roof of their own home.

In Sogou's satellite image service, users can still perform map search related operations, such as zooming images, temporarily marking locations, measuring distances, taking screenshots, and can also switch with traditional maps at any time, use public transport, and basic functions such as self-driving route queries can easily guide travel routes.

Using Sogou Satellite Map Service can be accessed by clicking "Map" on the Sogou homepage, or by directly entering the URL http://map.sogou.com in the address bar, and following various prompts to enter the satellite image service.
