A long 50x7 mile strip running to the west of Newcastle, England, down to the West of Durham, England.
Includes Stamfordham, Prudhoe, Stocksfield, Consett, Wolsingham ,and Barnard Castle.

Italy: Terni also has hi-res now

Newcastle and Gateshead, England has new imagery dated 23rd July 2008. This extends outwards for around 20 square miles to include the North East Coastline to Blyth in the North, and Seaham in the south.

England: Middlesbrough and Hull has new imagery

Also new imagery in Oxelösund, Sweden

Updated imagery for Cavallino, Italy

I'm seeing lots of new imagery in central parts of South Africa, some as recent as Jan 2009 incl. the Durban area, some from earlier but only added to GE now. The little town of Dannhauser (NW Natal), where I lived for years, is much improved over Maps, while the nearby town of Dundee was missed last year.

Buenos Aires and its metropolitan area has new imagery.

Edmonton updated.

England: Hartlepool has new data too

The Maldives got some filler too!

STILL no imagery for Hamilton, New Zealand :((( come on!

Thailand: New tile between Nakhon Si Thammarat and Pak Phanang.

Brasil: not only "the North-central (rainforest areas near the Amazon river)" (as mentioned) have new satellite imagery, but the city of Goiânia, capital of the state of Goias, has new satellite imagery too.

Russia large updates - east and west Ural, my city Perm

Sarajevo, BiH has updated imagery (06-2008?)

The New Edmonton and Montreal images came from the new satellite,WorldView-1 it seems sharper, also the date for Montreal is wrong, it is in September, 2008 (look at place des arts and you can see the car-free day festivities and the awful traffic.)

Abidjan, Côte D'Ivoire has updated imagery. Less cloud cover in the new ones.

I notice the Scilly Isles off the coast of Cornwall (south west UK) have disappeared completely with the new imagery. If I enable the historical layers it reappears....

SCOTLAND - any extension in the country with the worst GE coverage in the FU is welcome, and the new 2008 imagery of Edinburgh is excellent
However, some of the new coverage dates from 1999 so is only "new" in the sense that it wasn't on GE before. Also the vast majority of the country is still at very poor resolution, and half the Orkney Isles are still completely missing after the Ocean updates.l

Parts of Hidalgo state, Mexico (Ixmiquilpan and enirons in particular, maybe more).

Guinea, a GeoEye strip from april 2008 @ 30Km from Conakry

Greetings from Africa

And parts of the Suez Canal. Lot's of random ocean strips too. I'll post a more complete selection as I update my file relating to those areas.

the Maldives has got a big update, although high resolution imagery update is only for the capital island Malé, the whole country, apart from high resolution areas, now has low resolution (very low resolution actually)imagery from US geology survey google earth says. and with this update, the islands lost in the last Google Earth update is back. and now the imagery is trimmed nicely around the atolls.

Burkina Faso, a strip begin near Dapelogo

Bénin: A strip from march 2008 begin south of Malanville

Brasil: 40km W of the city São Paulo, East of São Roque. Unfortunately ends 400 meters from my vacation home!

Sierra Leone: Freetown in hi-res :o)

Zimbabwe has been updated too.

Please seperate African countries like you are doing with the rest of the world. Don't bundle them under the same bullet.

I check you blog everyday. Very informative - keep up the good work.

Tempest.

Greenland is updated with all major cities

Poland, really small picture (11x7km)of few villages near Wroclaw :D

Gävle in Sweden has uptaded imagery too.

After a long wait, imagery for a narrow strip of Nepal has been added (although the resolution is not that good). Wish GoogleEarth wouldn't take so long to cover the rest of Nepal, since it appears that DigitalGlobe does have more imagery covering other parts of this country.

Cikarang and Karawang in West Java, Indonesia now have high resolution photos.

the historical layers have been updated also

too many to mention

best regards

MM

The long-missing strip to the south of Al Fintas in Kuwait has arrived!!!

I can now see where I lived for most of the 1990s...

In Spain:
AsturiaS: Desde Luarca hasta Leon.
Galicia: Desde Viveiro a Vilalba

Red Dog port, Kivalina, Alaska

Imagery now covers Karlskrona, Sweden.
New imagery in:
Athens, Greece
Genoa, Italy

still no update for the Heidelberg, Germany, region, bummer;-(

the footage in Google Maps. Earth is from 2000... almost 10 years old now...

and there's footage much better resolution available, the GIS site run by the city of heidelberg has good footage, but it seems that google and the city of heidelberg have a problem talking to each other to get this footage into GE/GM... i don't get it...

Spain:
Santillana del Mar in Cantabria

King George Island (Antarctica) has been updated.

Updated imagery:
Dominican Rep., Samana "El Catey" international airport now in high-res (but seems old imagery, the airport still seems incomplete), together with other sparse tiles in the Dominican Republic.
Now the country has road info, too!

I'd like to thank Tom for the heads up about the updated terrain imagery in York. This has led me to update my latest version of York Minster to work with the new imagery. Cheers :)

Russia: Samara, Ulyanovsk, Sochi, Komsomolsk-on-Amur

Cyprus: Limassol

Sweden: Västerås

Canada: Fredericton

I've just noticed that Sheffield, Barnsley & Rotherham has new imagery

I was pleased to read about the update to Fife (Scotland)but have just noticed that the imagery is seriously out of date. It provides consistent coverage for Fife but it must be at least 6 years old (we got our v.visible trampoline more than 6yr ago!)

Somewhat confused since the image copyright says Getmapping 2009 and the 'Show Historical Imagery' button doesn't provide any other imagery.

Not only the major cities in Greenland are updated. Also several small villages (bygder) are updated. An update of interesting places to around 80% now.

@ mantoz: thnx for the DR info, it seems google earth has full streets now, santo domingo is now even online with street names!

but in google maps you can only zoom in to city level, if you want to zoom in further an error message appears, weird...???

and the new highway santo domingo - samana is not showing in the street layer!

that highway is new, but now it must be 2 years in service?

Utah USA: Capitol Reef and SR-24

SCOTLAND - old images for new?

Examination of the history layer suggests that older images have replaced newr images in parts of Scotland. If so this is odd, as Google must still have the licences to be able to include them in history.

An example is Ayr (SW of Glasgow) where (good) images dated 1999 seem to have replaced a couple of (poorer) but later sets, backed by the evidence from building developments.

Can this be confirmed by someone in Scotland; is this happening elsewhere; and is there an explanation?

Central Scotland is definitely new ie approx 1 year old.

Some part in western and central Cuba's imagery got update it...

Sweden: Ängelholm

Switzerland: Stans

frank: what dominca do you mean? there island of dominca has no roads in google earth...

did you mean the domincan republic? the island is hispaniola...

Dominica is a tiny island about 500 miles south-east of the Domincan Republic...

Dominican Republic: 50.000 square kilometers
Dominca: 750 square kilometers...

just to put it in perspective...

State of New Jersey: 23.000 square kilometers...

@smokeonit: No, I meant the country of Dominica. But, apparently that country did not get the roads update from Mapmaker yet. So, I took it off the list. But, many of the other countries from the LatLong post about Mapmaker have the new Roads in GE.

The Dominican Republic did get roads in GE and GM, but as of late GM isn't fully zoom-able... but in GE it is! The Capitol, Santo Domingo, is fully covered, as are all cities. The only thing missing is the new highway from Santo Domingo to Samana, but that's forgivable, it's only a few years old now...

Maybe whoever told you about Dominica meant the Dominican Republic;_)

It definitely is worth mentioning;-)

Google lat-long has posted their answers to the update quiz:
http://google-latlong.blogspot.com/2009/03/where-in-world-is-answers.html

They mention that Santa Rosa has "new terrain". If you do a search in GE for "santa rosa", the only hit is Santa Rosa, California. Go there and check out the freeway overpasses. It's cool how the roadway draps between the two halves of the overpass' built up approaches.

Since this looks like pretty fine granularity on the terrain mapping, I wonder what that "granularity" is? Any idea how or if that can be determined?

I wonder how it is that Santa Rosa, California has gotten what seems to be special treatment. Some months back, Santa Rosa was listed in an imagery update, and now it's listed in a terrain update. The result is that you can see great detail - houses and cars are very sharp - and great 3D terrain.

Did the city of Santa Rosa provide this imagery and terrain data to Google? How can other cities do something like this?

I look forward to the day when all of GE's imagery and terrain is as good as that in Santa Rosa.

I mention Santa Rosa because it seems to be an average city. I know that Las Vegas has had very high resolution imagery and terrain data for some time - San Diego too - but those places are much higher profile cities.

For Greenland it is all towns and settled villages with aerial photos from 2000 - the larger towns for 2006-7. Only small settlements and unhabitated areas are not included.

Medellín, Colombia, has new aerial imagery. It seems to be about eight months old. It covers the entire city and some towns of its metropolitan area.

I really hope to see much more of Scotland in the next update, especially Orkney where I live. I can't understand why so little of Scotland is available in high resolution, especially with 99% of England and Wales in very high quality for over a year.

Turbat,Pakistan also has new aerail imaginary.

What I can see, the new imagery show updates on the following cities in SWEDEN. The new imagery shows up as not necessarily as pure squares, but edited areas covering the centers of the cities.

when will the Indian maps be updated & in particular the Punjab Maps? i am looking the same maps from last 2 years.

I would like to see Saudi Arabia images updated. What is available is already more then 2 years old and it is a very fast developing country with many buildings and roads and villages being established. When can we expect to see an update for Saudi Arabia?

La Paz, B.C.S., is an older version than it used to be, as evidenced by development(disappearance) of Lomas del Centenario. Any explanation?

The region I live in Switzerland was not updated since over 13 years (Riedt near Erlen CH-8586).
Can I expect an update of my hometown?

Dominica is a small but perfectly formed English speaking commonwealth Island completely unrelated to the Dominican Republic and I wish people would stop confusing the two. There are roads shown for Dominica in Google Earth and Google Maps

when can an update on south african cities and towns be made available

Ariel images for south India (Tamil Nadu) updated. I can see my college now. ^_^
Eagerly awaiting updates for New Delhi

The images of mid Hampshire SO24 are now 8 years old with no updates since Feb 2001. When will up-to-date images be available?
