Google Maps
 

Just a quick heads up that Google have increased the number of high res images in their database. We can actually see our house now lol. Amazing detail too, check our the excel center on the Thames and you can see the drop off points and disabled driving markings.

Re: Google Maps
 

Was using it to check a route and noticed that there were new images available from the start point ;) Just goes to show that they are still expanding the image library.

Re: Google Maps
 

And there was a full page advert in the Standard masquerading as a news article on it..

Re: Google Maps
 

I notice a couple of gazebo's in your back garden, are you having a BBQ ;)

Re: Google Maps
 

Just having some of the neighbours over for a few jars :)

Re: Google Maps
 

Thanx for the heads up mate.

Interesting how these pictures have only just been updated... They are quite old.

Re: Google Maps
 

Yeah I noticed that, there's quite a large chunk of housing in Poole Town Centre Missing thats been being built for the last 6 months or more and theres not even a sign of it.

Re: Google Maps
 

Most of the images are 1-2 years old I think, just takes time to source high res images of each area and then stitch them together. They are getting there, very slowly admitedly ;)

Re: Google Maps
 

The pics of my area are atleast 5 years old, and not very well stitched together, the houses across the road are duplicated 3 times, it makes my street look twice as long. :erm:
