Act Locally in Sudan with New Imagery & Maps - GeoEye Information Services Featured on Google Blog

We are encouraging users to add their local knowledge to this mapping effort through a campaign to build a better map of Sudan. Recent satellite imagery is key to building up-to-date maps, and we are continuously acquiring fresh and historical imagery of Sudan.
