I'm not sure why but I can't see any of the above locations with newer images. They are the same as in Google Maps.

Parts of eastern Washington state have better imagery, in particular Palouse, WA.

Hello,
I notice a lot of imagery update in France. Some départements (Yonne, Rhône, Saône et Loire, Haute Savoie, Aube...)

The coast of French Guinea has also been updated. One excellent result of this is that the entire Kourou Space Center is now in high resolution.

Martinique also has new imagery.

100% coverage of Scotland is a bit exaggerated. The whole northern half is only low res.

Parts of South Dakota have been updated. Some of the older satellite imagery has been replaced with newer images from .. the USDA Farm Service Agency apparently. The area that caught my eye to point this out was Hill City, SD where the 1880 Steam Train is located.

The San Bernardino area in Southern California has updated imagery.

An hour ago, I saw the new imagery. Now there's only the old imagery. I deleted the cache, but no difference. Strange!

After a quick look, it appears that Michigan has been filled in completely, probably from the state's DOQ database.

SCOTLAND - great to see about 80% civerage in high res, with terrain in places like the Cuillins of Skye, and even the remote island of St Kilda covered. At last most of the clouds have cleared!

Incidently, the Orkneys, where more of the islands ate in high res, are part of Scotland.

ENGLAD - may be Maps are catching up, but so far I have only confirmed updates to the western part of East Sussex and Cornwall, with the wonderful Isles of Scilly at high res for the forst time. Any other identified areas of new coverage?

Large portions of Nevada, Oregon and Texas. Possibly Spot Images.

Minnesota and Michigan were also updated.

why Iran is not ??? why ?!!!! every month we hope to see Iran in high resolution but we are sorry .. why ??

Shrivenham, UK

North Korea imagery appears to be updated - zoomed into Pyongyang and its labeled copyright 2009.

On Iran mentioned above - my best guess is that they cant get hi-res for civilian use due to the political situation. Hi-res probably exists but is being reserved for military analysis.

Watauga Lake looks spiffy.

It looks like fairly large sections of Oregon (and Washington) got updates too. The Columbia River Gorge (east of Corbett, OR) is now in higher resolution. Before it was just large green blobs, now you can almost count trees. Central Oregon area around Three Sisters and Mt. Bachelor is also now in higher res. The area surrounding Mt. Rainier got updated too. I've only spent a few minutes looking around Oregon (and Wash.) but I bet there's a lot more I haven't noticed.

Eastern Shore of Virginia is updated, high res too.

I hope Belgium will get updated soon, because 70-80ù of the country is still low res.

Over France, the yesterday new imagery is gone...
Did you notice the same in other places ?
Strange.

I don't see any updates. Strange! Scotland, for example, is not updated at all. Also the images of Porto Alegre in Brazil are of 2005, not 2009. What's wrong?

Is there to figure why I don't see any of new imagery ? I use the latest Google Earth (5.0.11733.9347) and this kind of problem never occured before. None of the places mentioned in your list has newer imagery in my Google Earth.

Trieste, Italy got an update too.

Imagery's back again...

Seems this update didn't get pushed out to all users at the same time. I now can see Scotland almost fully in high res and I had my cache cleared yesterday.

Hello, others french départements updated like Cantal, Charente, Charente-Maritime, Haute-Vienne, Sarthe, Vienne, Vosges ...

Other départements of France : Aveyron, Calvados, Haute-Normandie ...

FINALLY we have Porto Alegre in high resolution. Thank you Google Earth. :~ Make Gramado and São Miguel das Missões and I'll ask no more.

...well, I'll ask. What about the Rio Grande do Sul state full in high definition?

I'm not sure if this is because of the new Google Earth verios or something else. Yesterday I was able to see the new imagery. But today, all came back and I see the old imagery again. Something is wrong with Google Earth. I see another poster (Karl) had the same problem.

Switzerland - Locarno - images from 6 may 2008 !!!

I have understood that new imagery was supposed to be used for Buter County, Ohio. Some areas have good resolution, but other parts, including east portion of Oxford Township, are still at very low resolution, imagery that was used before changing to version 5.

I would very much like that in Bethlehem, BR was in high resolution (the images
are present behind the historic images) so that I can do
better 3D models.
Thank you very much.

Hamilton, New Zealand got some really high quality images.

Contra Costa County, CA has new 3D terrain

Orkney islands finally have major coverage, but Kirkwall and much of the main island still has the old imagery

New imagery for Mayotte.

Vancouver, Canada has also been updated (Olympic Speed Skating Venue is now vissible)

I believe upstate New York (Addirondacks) also has some new high-res imagery dated 2006. Lake Pleasant area, Hamilton County.

RE: Scottish coverage. Noticed that Elgin & Forres, both in Moray are now in LOWER resolution and images are from 2004. Previously the higher resolution images were from Feb 2007. Strangely parts of the Feb 2007 images in that are still shown.

Update South Florida. Come onnn. Nobody is going to look at farms in Dakota.

Are you sure they have updated the image resolutions for south india? because i am not seeing any difference in my google earth....the images are not updated for chennai, india...

I am interested in the home town of my wife which is Butuan City Philippines. The same image has been there for a long time. Wondering when or if there are plans to change it?
Thanks,
