Why this is sharper than Google Maps
Most people assume Google has the sharpest view. For The Hague it doesn't: the imagery above comes from PDOK Luchtfoto (Netherlands 8cm) at 6 cm/px, versus Google's typical ~30 cm. VNTG checks ~35 free imagery sources — national aerial surveys, Esri, live Sentinel-2 — and shows whichever is sharpest for the exact point you click. You're looking at the seat of Dutch government and the ICJ.
