New Google Earth Imagery – September 24, 2013

September 24, 2013

It appears that Google has just pushed out a fresh batch of imagery! Thanks to sharp-eyed GEB reader ‘Munden’ for being the first to let us know about it.

Unlike some of the other recent updates, this imagery isn’t yet in Google Maps. As a result, you can compare Google Earth to Google Maps to determine what is 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!

Some of the updated areas include:

  • France: Tolouse
  • Italy: Palermo, Zingarello
  • Japan: Maebashi
  • United Kingdom: Eastbourne, West Wittering
  • United States: California (Fairfield, Half Moon Bay, San Francisco, Santa Cruz, Saulsalito, Sonoma, Suisan Bay, Watsonville, Woodland), Minnesota (Bemidji, Park Rapids), North Dakota (Galesburg, Valley City)

If you find any other updated areas, please leave a comment and let us know!

As is almost always 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 Earth yet, so you can compare Earth vs. Maps to see what’s new; the fresh imagery is already in Google Maps, but the old imagery is still in Google Earth. If you compare the two side-by-side and they’re not identical, that means that you’ve found a freshly updated area!

We’re not sure of all of the updated areas yet, but here are a few that some readers have found:

  • Canada: Calgary
  • Japan: Kyoto
  • New Zealand: Near Cave Stream Scenic Reserve
  • North Korea: Pyongyang
  • United Kingdom: Coventry (eastern part)
  • United States: Florida (Cape Canaveral), Virginia (Roanoke), Wisconsin (Woodruff), Wyoming (Grand Teton National Park, Yellowstone National Park)
