Hm.. doubt they could store all the images, even for just a small area... must be retrieved through wifi? but that sounds kinda stupid too, if there is no wifi coverage...
btw. the image on the device above must be fake, since you can see the sides of the buildings (ie. it's an isometric view or something). but ofc they just photoshop the best picture in there.
The satellite could have been at the angle to the ground at the point that photo was taken. As far as storage, I am betting it has some kind of flash storage and retrieves new data via 3G wireless networking.

It just mean the aerial was flown from a plane and not satellite.
The majority of detailed aerial photographs only come from airplanes. Satellite provides the more zoomed out photos.
Not always, kjb434.
If you look at google maps, you'll see alot of diagonal sattelite images.
