New Google Earth Imagery - November 16
As pointed out by GEB readers 'Munden' and 'Steven', Google has just pushed out some fresh new imagery!
As is usually the case, you can use Google Maps to determine for sure whether or not a specific area is fresh. This new imagery isn't in Google Maps yet, so you can compare Earth vs. Maps to see what's new; the fresh imagery is already in Google Earth, but the old imagery is still in Google Maps. If you compare the two side-by-side and they're not identical, that means that you've found a freshly updated area in Google Earth!

There's no update in San Jose. It as updated not long ago, and what I see in Google Earth is what I see in Google Maps.

China: Yancanxian, also west of Hengshaxian
Posted by: Munden at November 16, 2010 11:32 PM
China: Dinghai, also west of Hengshaxian
Posted by: Munden at November 16, 2010 11:33 PM
Sorry, I didn't think that first one went through and then decided Dinghai was more easily found.
I guess I should note that the Hengshaxian in question is on Heng Sha island. The tile mostly covers water near Shanghai.

One of these days maybe they'll get around to updating some imagery in Arkansas. Kinda pathetic that most all of the whole state still has imagery from 2003-2006; only a SMALL portion of northwest Arkansas has 2008-09.
I keep my fingers crossed every update ;-)

It seems to me that some areas of Iowa went back to older imagery. I just looked at several areas the other day and now a few large blocks of imagery definitely look different then they did.

Street View is available in 20 German Cities.
Posted by: der alte k at November 18, 2010 4:25 AM
Germany: Street View - looks good quality, dominated by modern urban and industrial scenes, as to be expected with the choice of cities. Many attractive and fascinating images, but so far missing out on most of the more scenic places.
Let's hope that public/media reaction is positive, Google don't mess up on privacy again, and more areas are released.
Includes coverage of: Bielefeld, Berlin, Bonn, Bremen, Dusseldorf, Dresden. Hamburg, Hannover, Koln (Cologne), Leipzig, Mannheim, Munchen (Munich), Nurnberg, the Rhur (Duisberg to Dortmund), Stuttgart, Wuppertal.

Germany: Street View - coverage also includes Frankfurt.
Posted by: Chris at November 18, 2010 5:48 AM
Germany: Street View - get an idea of the new imagery by using the random pick or slide show on the Map Crunch site http://www.mapcrunch.com/
There is a good chance of spotting opaque screens hiding some of the many addresses where privacy has been requested, rare elsewhere in Street View.

Why are these images taking so long to appear in Google Maps? Does anyone know how long they normaly take to show up?
Posted by: Carlos David at November 18, 2010 6:24 PM
Does anyone know how to get the source of Google's Imagery? Or are they Google's own private sources?

Gdansk, Poland (from July 2010) - BUT !!! IF you want to see it you have to go to the history option and "back " from 2008 to 2010. I don't know why.

How can I correct and update street names in my area?
Posted by: Donald Irwin Page at December 16, 2010 5:03 AM
Donald -- You can submit corrections to Google Maps, and those corrections will eventually end up in Google Earth. Here's how:
