School bus on top of a building.

That's odd. There are also a few private jets at what looks like different heights to the left of the building in the alleyway before the parking lot. It's in St. Louis.

i think this was placed by google, its the only highres sqare in that area and i think it was made from a plane flying at a low level over that marketplace (thats why the people are looking at the camera)

 

[dave_rhino]

Well they aren't looking up and thinking "****, look at that satellite!" are they. :1orglaugh

Thanks for checking it out anyway.

Can I get an update for that non Pro version? All of my sites are from 1999 or 2000! I just got it working so I dont know if I can do that upgrade stuff?! Anyone? tnx


Cheers

 

[AFA]

I don't know what you're asking. Why don't you go to the Google site if you're looking for an upgrade?

The data is updated regularly, but not all at the same time. Resolution is improved as they get to it. Normally we just don't post the co-ordinates to places without high resolution. I stick a pin in them and come back to check now and then.

here is a question: how updated is this? i punched up soldier field in chicago
and it looks like the construction from 2 years ago is still happening.
cranes,steel girders and so forth.
is there a way to have an updated version or updated pics?
i have had GE for a while but haven't checked it in a long time until i saw this thread.
thanks for any info

 

[dave_rhino]

There is a lot of ground to photograph on this earth... im sure they update it as much as humanly possible, but 2 years is not that far out.

I can still see a tree in my garden which i cut down over 6 years ago.

 

[AFA]

Taj Mahal, Cherynobyl and various places in the Caribbean got the recent upgrades I had been waiting for. Still there are quite a few other places I'm waiting for. One was a waterfall, the high res stops on the road just before the falls.
