Actually, I just re-read your first post. Now I think I'd better make sure we're talking about the same thing. You're talking about the satellite image that you can look at while using the Google maps, right?
You're joking, correct? The images used around Indy, for example, are no more than two months old.
That is kind of confusing, since google just started to do this about 2 years ago. The ones of pittsburgh were mostly from August. I could tell, because they have a food festival banner marked for on a bridge for late August of this year. Maybe they do fill in stuff pictures for some areas or something. I just don't understand why it would be 10 years old.
no street view is completely different from satellite images. Yes, satellite images can be old. Street view is where they go by car, and take a 360 picture panorama of every street in the city, and most in the metro. You can literally walk around in the virtual world and look around in 360 and see buildings, people, cars, etc. It is for about 10 cities. San fran, Philly, N.Y., Denver, Vegas, Pheonix, Pittsburgh, and maybe washington.
Google, google street view. You will find the link.
Wow, they added a lot more cities since the last time I looked at it. Make it about 20 now. They have added Boston, Minneapolis, Austin, Dallas, Indianapolis, and Detroit.
I am going to go walk around Detroit. Never been there, and want to see if it is really as run down as they say it is.......
I've toyed around with it quite a bit. Remember, though, that many of the images are 10+ years old. You may see a vacant field where there has actually been a major shopping center for a number of years.
You are thinking of the aerial imagery.
Edit: guess I'm kind of late on this response.
