Google Maps Gets Huge Satellite Update from Google Earth
Last Friday Google updated the satellite data used for Google Maps so it now has the many updates recently made to the Google Earth database. This means the new high resolution data for all of Germany, many places in Europe, the new 3"/pixel data for Las Vegas, and many other places are now available to Google Maps users. A big part of the change is that, when zoomed out, the Earth's land masses will look more green because Google is now using a dataset from a company called TrueEarth.
Here are some blog entries with details on the changes:
- Big update 23-Mar-2006 - TrueEarth update, Germany, tropical islands, and more.
- Maldive Island group - beautiful hi-res islands - see in Google Maps
- Las Vegas, Nevada - 3 inch/pixel data - see in Google Maps
- Stonehenge - now in high-resolution - see in Google Maps
- Big update 18-Apr-2006 - Most of western Europe gets updated
From a Google Maps perspective, only the data updates to the aerial and satellite photos are significant. The updates to things like place names you will need to use Google Earth to see.
While we are on this subject, OgleEarth points to a hidden feature allowing you to bring up Google Earth for the current view in Google Maps. If you choose the "Link to this page" option in Google Maps after searching for a location, you can bring up the same view in Google Earth by appending "&output=kml" to the URL.
[EDIT 18:10 EDT: Some folks have discovered that as part of these updates Google Maps and Google Earth can now give directions to most European areas - see example for Paris to Berlin.]

When is SE Wisconsin (Milwaukee) going to get some decent resolution. Currently it completely sucks. Terraserver, even in the non-subscribe mode, provides better resolution.

What happend to 3d buildings, I thought at one point google would allow users to view buildings in a 3d aspect. Othewrise what is the point of tilting up and down?
Posted by: Eugene f at April 24, 2006 11:46 AM
Eugene, you can see the 3D buildings in Google Earth for 38 major metropolitan areas in the US. You just need to turn on the "Buildings" layer. Even Las Vegas has a few buildings done, but not the more architecturally interesting casinos so far.
There are a lot of stories about 3D buildings here:

Yeah, same for us in northeastern Ky. New photos, but same, poor resolution. Yahoo maps is much, much better, check out the comparison:

The rural areas of eastern North Carolina need better pictures.
Posted by: macewan at April 24, 2006 12:28 PM
Yeah, I noticed the "update" last week. I used to have great resolution in my neighborhood - Hartford, WI and now it's terrible.
Back before Google bought keyhole, the maps for Milwaukee were great. As far as I can see, the quality of maps is getting WORSE, not better.
Posted by: Chris at April 24, 2006 12:56 PM
to be technically correct, satellite photography is not used in google earth. the only current satellite system of appropriate resolution is russia's spin-2 which is not included in the google dataset. the rest of the space-based data is "imagery" not "photography."

I love using Google Earth, especially when it comes to determining directions from one point to another.
I don't understand Google's pursuit of Maps. I think Google Earth is widely used and that should be their focus when it comes to navigation.

I get really good detail on my town! You can see everything down to the cars in my driveway!
Posted by: Kevinchai at April 24, 2006 3:23 PM
Yah, despite the great resolution that some of the more popular and heavily populated areas can be seen with, I'm still wondering when all those people from out in the middle of nowhere such as myself will get a chance to see our own house's too. I'm not particularly a big fan of looking at a giant green blob that's supposedly supposed to be my hometown and can only be viewed somewhat clearly at an altitude of 20,000 feet. Though some of the thing's you'll find on Google Earth are still quite amusing. I found one area that you can see 3 completely different seasons that only encompases a few square miles!
Posted by: Tristan Dion at April 24, 2006 5:43 PM
How about a good closeup of Yermo, CA? Part of the movie "The Incredible Hulk" was filmed there and You can't identify the local streets there, Also in Lenwood, CA there is a short Dirt road named Knight Rd(Realtor) or Knight Ct.(SW Gas) that is seen and not labeled(It's south of 3rd st and east of Paris Ave and west of the Church parking lot).

cory: Sounds a lot like another Athens-- specifically, the one in Georgia, which only has ridiculously low-res imagery on Google.
Interestingly, maps.ask.com and the Yahoo Maps beta have much better imagery of Athens, Georgia than Google... but their aerial photos of Macon, my previous home, are seriously out of date compared to Google's.

hey google earth people.. u guys rock!!! my class is using ur program for a project... but can u guys update on GUAM.. please... cuz on the version we are using now.. its only a blob of green land.. please and thank you.. oh and also the Philippines... =]
Posted by: kris at May 17, 2006 4:33 AM
This is so neat! Can you update the info on the Outerbanks, NC. It is old views as places like the Cabana East Motel that was next to Shore Leave, is no longer there. Still trying to find out about The Wharf. Thanks.
Posted by: Beatrice Shanholtz at May 27, 2006 8:53 PM
I like Google Earth very much and watch it whenever I got time for it. I hope you will continue to make it larger and larger, because I find it such an atractive site.
Yours Truly,

> Image Details <
Does anyone know why the low elevation images in Google Maps are more detailed than most of low elevation images in Google Earth?
Posted by: JH at January 16, 2007 3:44 AM
Right now, I believe the Google Maps and Earth databases for imagery are the same. There are times when the two are out of synch when they do a big update, or when they have done very small updates. But, this usually only lasts a few days.
Google Earth also lets you zoom down to a lower elevation than Google Maps, so it is usually Google Earth that appears to have higher resolution. This really is just a limitation in Google Maps zoom levels, the imagery is the same.
Can you give the coordinates for an example of what you are talking about?
Posted by: Frank Taylor at January 16, 2007 7:51 AM
I was now 2 times in Shimla / Himachal Pradesh / India. Its a very nice hilltown on the foots of Himalaya. I saw on GoogleEarth only the west part of Shimla. This part is not so interesting. I hope 'they' will update the east part of Shimla soon.... S.P. Germany Apr. 2007

Posted by: d at June 19, 2007 12:33 PM
Geeze, - Alot of griping here for something that's FREE, and incredibly beautiful & interesting. - Thank you Google! - As far as resolution, some spots ARE better than others, but be patient out there. - I live in Jacksonville< Fl. (USA) and if you 'fly' out to the mouth of the St. Johns River, where it empties into the Atlantic, check out the Mayport naval Base on the South side of the river. - Zoom in enough, and you'll see an aircraft carrier, - more zoom will let you see a fighter jet on the flight deck that you can almost read the numbers on! - How's THAT for resolution?

I feel your resolution pain when I try to find my folks house in upstate NY but even those of us in not so rural areas are missing data. I actually live in Discovery Bay, California, 40 miles form Silicon Valley and my 4 year old house does not seem to exist according to Google Earth. It's still a dirt lot. I love this application and think it is great for teaching our kids about the world and geo but it's hard to convince my kids that it is anything more than old technology since it is updated so rarely. Google Earth is to cutting edge as ethernet cables are to wireless networks they say....

is there any way of asking Google to update the satellite image for a specific area. or may be is there any paid service for this kind of thing ?
thanks

Definitely a DOWNGRADE for me. I used to be able to see my car in the drive and now the whole neighborhood is a green blur. The new resolution realy sucks in Ottawa
Posted by: Pat Jeffries at April 26, 2008 9:26 AM
Pat, that was exactly what I said after 'upgrading' to 4.3.7204.0836 (beta)! I might try uninstalling the 'upgrade' and reinstalling the original, because it's just not worth having this blurry mess.
Perhaps it's a ploy to get us to upgrade to Google Earth Plus?

Still no updates for the Philippines. Do you guys even check these boards? How often do you update the maps?
Posted by: Fandino at July 11, 2008 4:38 AM
How often are the images updated? I looked for a building in Aberdeen, Scotland which I know has been in existence for 2-3 years and it was not on the image in July 2008. Most of the world lives outside the good old US of A and we would like to be updated occasionally.
Another thing-what is the logic behind which areas have good resolution? It seems random and illogical to me.

when are you going to update the market town of chesterfield and the surrounding areas
Posted by: jon at July 30, 2008 7:49 AM
1) Questions about updating maps seem never to be answered directly by Google. All the US maps for my regions of interest - Tenn, Ohio, Nevada, Wisconsin, Central Texas (fastest growth region in the US) - are all still over FIVE years old.
2) To those who say "don't gripe about something that is free" I say, some of us actually PAY for this service and need to use it for our work. While the 3Ds are fun, that does little to improve the basic functionality of Google service for regions whose images are LONG out of date.

I know about the satellites and all but I just needed to know how frequent is the view updated for any place. Very good application, I used this to find a university I had to go to for PHD interview abroad. It would have been impossible to determine the best route from my hotel and location without this. Love it.

Personally, I find the most impressive part about Google maps to be the app on my blackberry. It has the ability to pinpoint my location via gps and gives turn by turn directions. Obviously it's not as good as a real navigation system but it's free so I can't complain.

Pam, I read that google imagery are usually updated anywhere from 6 months to 5 years since it can be very expensive to update the images frequently. After the images are taken they also need to be processed which is also time consuming. Here is a link that might be helpful

I have 2 important questions in my mind that i need to ask you and they are
1) Questions about updating maps seem never to be answered directly by Google. All the US maps for my regions of interest - Tenn, Ohio, Nevada, Wisconsin, Central Texas (fastest growth region in the US) - are all still over FIVE years old.
2) To those who say "don't gripe about something that is free" I say, some of us actually PAY for this service and need to use it for our work. While the 3Ds are fun, that does little to improve the basic functionality of Google service for regions whose images are LONG out of date.
