M13KYF Posted June 28, 2007 Share Posted June 28, 2007 For those who haven't checked it out recently google earth has new satellite imagery instead of the old stuff they had been using. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chesterfield Posted June 28, 2007 Share Posted June 28, 2007 Good find Also another site maps.live.com run by Microsoft has some good aerial photography too, and in some areas goes into furthr detail still (it allows you to switch to birds eye view in those areas). http://maps.live.com It also allows you to look from various different angles too on the birds eye view. I often use it in addition to google earth, and its very handy when househunting, you get a good idea of the plot etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonathan73 Posted June 28, 2007 Share Posted June 28, 2007 Google seems to be about 3 yrs out of date. Local live must be closer to 6 yrs out of date for the UK but less so for the US as my old roof deck is showing the "dance floor" we put up there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chesterfield Posted June 28, 2007 Share Posted June 28, 2007 The google earth data for my road is about 4 years out of date or perhaps a little more, as the road for my previous home (about 300 yards away) is just a dirt track that has been set out in the field. The MS maps.live data has different versions though. The standard aerial view is again maybe 4-5 years out of date. The birds eye view though has my decking completed and the paving I put down to the side which means it cannot be any older than 10 months.

Dan Posted June 28, 2007 Share Posted June 28, 2007 I still live in a field according to both ms live and google earth ! On Google Earth my wife's car is on the driveway of our old house - AND it's outside her Dad's house too which is kinda cool. It's the worlds only omnipotent Peugeot.
