Yesterday we had a look at the progress made by Google in releasing 3D imagery for Google Earth. For this we used this KML map
that we maintain that shows the areas covered by 3D imagery. This has been made possible with the assistance of a number of dedicated GEB readers who have contributed to our map. Until recently the outlines were being drawn by GEB reader Anton Rudolfsson, who also came up with the idea of the timeline section. He has had to stop drawing outlines due to other commitments. A big thank you to him for his contributions.
Since then a number of other readers have been sending in KML outlines which we incorporate into the master KML file. A big thank you to all these contributors. Also a big thank you to all the 3D hunters who find new 3D areas and let us know about them. Until now, they have been using the comments in this post to report the locations of new finds. However, there are now so many comments that it is becoming difficult to scroll to the end, so we would like to ask all contributors to start using the comments in this post from today onwards. In addition, please try and keep comments to a minimum just noting new areas covered with 3D or for messages to fellow 3D hunters. If you have any questions for us or notes about errors in the KML, please email us directly if possible, using either the Contact us page or my email address: timothy at gearthblog.com.
If you wish to submit outlines please first read through the instructions found here.
Combining the outlines we receive into the master KML file is largely a manual process. We have created scripts, such as this one, to make it easier to do this, but it is still laborious. However, given the positive feedback from GEB readers we believe it is worth the effort.
As various 3D areas are expanded and merged, getting the outlines correct can be quite complicated.
About Timothy Whitehead
Timothy has been using Google Earth since 2004 when it was still called Keyhole before it was renamed Google Earth in 2005 and has been a huge fan ever since. He is a programmer working for Red Wing Aerobatx and lives in Cape Town, South Africa.
Maybe it would just be better to report new findings on latest post? A month or two from now, how am I supposed to conveniently find this particular post to make a report?
I agree.
For the sake of posterity, I think we should continue updating the original thread of comments. Getting to the most recent comment is easy enough, just tap the ‘End’ key on your keyboard and you’re taken right to the bottom of the page.

The 3d area for Black Rock City, Nevada is gone.
Was this area ever actually in 3D? I couldn’t discern any 3D features in the latest imagery, although there are no (permanent) structures in the area, nor much topography to be rendered.
https://www.gearthblog.com/blog/archives/2014/12/burning-man-goes-3d.html
Thanks! Interesting that the same imagery is still visible, but isn’t rendered in 3D anymore; I assume that’s what Johann was referring to above. So, the same area is still visible in GE but it now appears as flat. I can confirm that’s been the case for at least a few weeks now.

Just found a random 3d area near the village of Kapellen, Germany.
Lat/Long coordinates? I don’t see anything 3D in the vicinity.
Southeast of Mönchengladbach
Ah, I see it now. The search box was taking me to Geldern-Kapellen instead of Kapellen.
That 3D imagery you found must have been added in the past couple of days. I was just looking at that area earlier this week and it was still 2D imagery.
Hopefully it means that Düsseldorf, Duisburg, and Essen will finally get 3D imagery soon. 🙂
Yeah, I tried it and saw that it takes you somewhere completely different. 😀 Looks like they’re adding the Ruhr area in small pieces since it’s so dense.
On the top of my wish list is Frankfurt though. And of course my home near Dresden, Germany. The 3d coverage ends 1 km before my house.
51° 7’29.27″N
6°36’46.94″E
Let me know if you found it.
Hi, Johann the village is not in 3d.

Since everybody is confused about the 3D area I mentioned as “Kapellen, Germany”. In the area is a town included named Kapellen, however, if you put it in the search bar it takes you to another place in Germany called Kapellan which I was unaware of. I’m drawing the outlines right now and I’ve posted the coordinates somewhere in the comments above.
Also, the area is NOT part of the city Neuss, just for the record.

Charlotte NC and most of it metro is gone (what the heck going on?!?)
Denver, Colorado reverted back to its old 3D imagery, I’ve never seen that happen befor. Why is it doing this!?
Denver is currently showing the latest imagery for me. They might’ve swapped it temporarily.
No it is still old. The imagery before it reverted was from 2015. Currently it is showing 2013. Here is what the removed 2015 imagery looked like from the west of Union Station. Notice the missing buildings in the current imagery. http://imgur.com/4FROgK7
Denver, Charlotte, and Disney World are now fixed.

someone had his House censored in the middle of the extended 3D area at 36°17’16.57″N 28° 9’55.06″E of course it is visible in the historical imagery.

How can I open the map??? It doesn’t work for me

i suggest you start to add updated areas within old areas as well, so you can see when they have been added. That would be very cool! (I just wanted to know about the new data that is completely within the old area in Würzburg, Germany)

How did you find this information?
Reprocessed and little extended 3D imagery of O Salnés and Barbanza, (Spain),
Gijón, updated imagery (Spain).
Stockholm, Sweden
Alicante, updated imagery (Spain).
Aljaraque, updated imagery (Spain).
Sant Carles, new area 3D (Spain).
All the cities you’ve mentioned have been added a long time ago or aren’t even in 3D…
I think Álvaro means Sant Carles de Peralta (actually in 3D) rather than Sant Carles de la Ràpita (the default search option for Sant Carles, Spain).
Yes hehehe
To prevent such confusion in the future, I suggest that the name of the administrative division also go into these entries.

Are Google still adding 3D Imagery or are these places simply places which people have missed previously?
Google is still continuing to add 3D imagery as shown on the map. It is color coded according to year.
A more complete list of updates can be found on this spreadsheet:

I have been checking the Balkans almost every day for the past two months with recent updates being for Craiova, Romania and Sofia, Bulgaria which were updated last Friday (July 23rd).
Hey, just letting you know that the link was cut off a bit by this website so I had to go into the html to get it. Thanks very much by the way
Ostende, (Belgium) coming soon in 3D.
How do you know this? If it is because of the new aerial imagery then Gütersloh, Germany is another likely future addition.
Because the aerial photo is new and looks like 3D in the future
Besides Gütersloh, I noticed a few days ago that Montevideo, Uruguay has high resolution aerial imagery from 2015.
