Google earth???? OLD!!!!`?

Question

why is google earth photos soo old, right im looking at a house that was knocked 3 years ago?

is there some thing better then this???

Answer 1

ok, the photos are old cause the satellites haven't taken a photo for a while probably. And something that is more recently updated (but nut better), is Windows Live Maps or something like that.

the flight controls are here

Answer 2

Google has been going around the usa with a car and camera's on it taking pictures for the new "Street view" so depending on where you live you can now get to see your house better than any Google Earth image!!

Here are the Google Products and an article how to see your house live.

Answer 3

if you pay you can see up to date photos.

for free you get the 3to 6 year old ones.

you could try "nasa earth wind" and or "microsoft locate me" both are free they have some different (but still older photos) of a lot of areas.

best i can do.

hope it helps

Answer 4

It is old because the satellites update the images every 3 or 4 years.

You could try MultiMap (www.multimap.com) or Windows Live Maps (maps.live.com)

Answer 5

its old because google earths satellite doent update much. also can you prove that you are really looking at a house that was knocked 3 years ago and where is it anyways.

Answer 6

Yeah

Try www.flashearth.com

You don't have to download it and it runs a lot smoother I think

Answer 7

I quite agree - the photo of my house is years old, yet the copyright says 2008.

I think at least they should put the correct date on these photos.
