Google Earth

Post by clivejames1st »

Hi.

I have just been viewing a local railway line in my home town on Google Earth, latest version.
I then went and looked at my property and saw two cars on my driveway that were replaced over 6 years ago.
I have no idea how often G E would be updated as i am sure it would take a very long time to photograph the globe.
However, this should be considered when building a route using Google Earth, a lot can happen in 6 years.

Regards

Clive

i belive they update it in sections , and if you live out in the countryside the chances are slim that your area will be updated regularly , and yes , i live in scunthorpe and alot has changed , but i guess im lucky as my route is set in 2009 anyway
