Google has increased the satellite resolution for our Maps. For example, if you view the Miami hotel map you can zoom in and see the hotel’s swimming pool, it is pretty cool. Check out these birds eye views of Miami:

MiamiBeach411+ Google Maps

MiamiBeach411 is using the Google Maps API to map:

• Miami hotels
• Miami restaurants
• Miami attractions
• Miami nightlife
• Miami real estate
• Disney World Orlando
• Islands in Bahamas and Caribbean

We have a few more maps in the works; namely a Campgrounds map, and a map of the Florida Keys.

What’s fun is, you can drag the maps with your mouse, and use the slider to zoom in and out.

Yesterday, Google also added street level details and driving directions to its European Google Maps.

If you have an idea for a Google Map, post it in the comments. Don’t hold back on your imagination. Anything is possible. The sky’s the limit.

Update: We busted out a Miami shopping map for y’all.
