Google is obviously using satellites for their satellite views and the non-military ones obviously have limits. But there is an overlay happening with progressively closer and closer "views" over an area that had been filled in with helicopter imagery early on when they started their "Street View" project (that I use all the time by the way), but could possibly (and much more quietly) be done with quadcopters fitted with hi-res cameras nowadays, doing "overhead" shots.

I think the roving 360 cameras might stay though because they are actually navigating streets, highways, and even going into larger business areas like mall parking lots, etc.
