Eh?

Not a soul would appear to be out and about, no one sitting in the parks or the beaches, what's the deal there then?

i think you have to wait for the new version to come out. it's not done automatically.

The picture of my house was taken at least five years ago.

photo of our London house is at least 2 years old as well, more likely 3. Mawbroon I would love to see your MIL with her dog, care to share the co ordinates?
Zephyrcat, Perth is crystal clear - what's the suburb I'll try and find it for you.

The whole things is freaky, but as DH says, "they" are only giving out this kind of aerial mapping and technology if the current stuff is super clear and you can see pores on skin.

There's a new "beta" version availabel ATM.

the US stuff is more up to date than us mere europeans. lots of it is based on satelitte imagery I think and there are areas that are blanked out for security purposes.

I'm 100% addicted
