How much data do you think Google Earth is total? (Google Maps)?

Including all the images Google has stored of planet Earth, all the street view images Google has, and any other data they store to be used for Google Earth (Google Maps), how large do you think Google Earth is in total? Are we talking in the terabytes, or something in the high gigabytes?



Thanks, just wonderingHow much data do you think Google Earth is total? (Google Maps)?
I would say easily into the terabytes. Think about your digital camera. Mine only holdes about 250 pictures on a 2gig stick. imagine how many pictures google has to have to cover the entire earth streetview. plus all of the code (which probably hits about 25 gigs to be honest). The amount of space it takes up on your computer is something like 6 gigs but that doesn't include all of the pictures and server-side files.
Google Earth uses 70 TB (1 TB = 1024 GB)
