Google Earth Imagery Updates
Tuesday, 5 October, 2010
The Google Earth blog is one well worth monitoring for useful titbits. This recent post explains how often imagery is updated. This is a crucial point as it is not always obvious what the currency is and how the “patch work” of dates varies. They note a policy of trying to keep all imagery less than 3 years old, although this isn’t always possible. Don’t forget that they store (historic) archive imagery and also provide a KML file showing where the updates are. Useful stuff.
