Google Maps uses aerial photos past a certain level of magnification, if it is available in a given area, even if it's still labelled as "satellite".

If you compare areas where there are no such photos - e.g. large natural parks - the hi-res samples on their website don't look any worse to me than Google.

Absolutely! Google uses aerial for popular locations (large cities).

We will get into aerial in the next few months.
