SInce google doesn't own the satellites and they obtain the sat and
airial images from a third party only when they are published at
various intervals, at this point, there should be no expectation that
there is any relationship between the dates of the sat/ airial images
and those street level images collected collected by google's own bugs.
What might be interesting in 50 years time or so when google and NASA
etc have amassed sufficient image data, is for google to add a "time"
slider to google maps and streetview, that would provide a co-
ordinated (in time) view of the planet and streets so we could begin
(the nearest thing to) time travel!!!

HeHe,
I sort of noticed the opposite round here.
The Street view photos are obviously much more recent than the
satellite
images.
So you can have the surreal situation where the street view is
showing a
house while the photo pointer on the satellite view shows you are
looking at
open space, with no signs of a building to be seen.
It would be interesting to know the photo dates, at any particular
location,
for both the satellite images and the street views!!
Cheers
Neil

Not all .. Breamlea on the Bellarine Peninsula (south Victoria),
where
my sister lives, doesn't have any "blue-lined" roads;
ie I can see the position of her house marked on the map, & I can see
her actual house in Google Earth, but no Street View.

Rats, the car is on the wrong side of the road. That means it was
travelling north. We were travelling south and we overtook it. That
means they were going south too (!). Have they done all of Oz?
