[MBZ] OT Do Google Earth pictures get updated?
So you can stalk your old vehicle using google earth - cool. Actually I have wondered something about Google Earth: How often are the pictures updated - or are they updated at all? I ask because I have thought the same thing - you can sort of keep tabs on things if the pictures are updated often enough. This way, I suppose, if one's ex-girlfriend was fat enough, you could even stalk her. Brian On 7/14/07, Zach [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Gave it away... But its still on google earth!

Re: [MBZ] OT Do Google Earth pictures get updated?
Probably not often. I got a great night view of our house and you could see the heat coming off the engine on my wife's car...problem is, she'd been out of town all day and the car wasn't there, a little more searching the area showed two giant churches that had been built down the road about 2 years earlier, were dirt lots. -Robert Zoltan Finks wrote: So you can stalk your old vehicle using google earth - cool.

Re: [MBZ] OT Do Google Earth pictures get updated?
Google gets imagery from a number of different sources, mostly commercial ones (which they have to pay for.) As a result, they might not use the highest resolution imagery available for a given area, depending on who the source is. Much of the imagery used to be government low resolution, which is the greenish-looking out-of focus stuff. However, they are in the process of updating a lot of their imagery from commercial sources, like Europa and TerraMetrics. But - they have to pay for it.. If you scroll across the globe, you'll see the credits for the supplier of the imagery on your screen at the bottom. When you're overlapping, you'll see both.

Re: [MBZ] OT Do Google Earth pictures get updated?
For the area of Maine where my farm is their image is high rez but very very old. Its hard to know for sure but I'd say pre-'01 anyway. Around my parent's house its interesting because the hybrid overlay shows streets that don't exist in the image. They also have considerably less detail than GoogleMaps at least in my Parent's area. The GoogleMaps image of my parents house was taken in November '04 the week of Veterans day, I can tell because my pickup is in the picture parked on my parent's lawn. For where I live they have birds eye view available which is pretty cool. You can just almost see my house. The regular image of my house is pretty new, not more than say 3 years old but not newer than a year. -Curt Date: Sat, 14 Jul 2007 16:00:48 -0400 From: Scott Ritchey [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [MBZ] OT Do Google Earth pictures get updated?

So you can stalk your old vehicle using google earth - cool. Actually I have wondered something about Google Earth: How often are the pictures updated - or are they updated at all? I ask because I have thought the same thing - you can sort of keep tabs on things if the pictures are updated often enough. This way, I suppose, if one's ex-girlfriend was fat enough, you could even stalk her. Brian On 7/14/07, Zach [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Gave it away... But its still on google earth!

Re: [MBZ] OT Do Google Earth pictures get updated?
It sounds like the images Google uses are a mish-mash of photos they obtain from whatever source they can. The rate of update is probably a crazy roll-of-the-dice with no particular order of when they'll be updated --- In the end, you get what you pay for.
