Had a look at Google earth last night for all those Cheltenham massives out there we are now crystal clear.......scary when u can see ur washing on the line from outer space!!
I would estimate the images are 3 months old.

Some thing i've not looked at for a long time must have a look see areas of Dorset have been updated

Not for the village I live in 5 miles from Cheltenham. Just checked previous property I lived in , where I chopped down a whole corner of trees in garden over 2 years ago & they are still on Google Earth. Double checked property in now & orchard land out back where trees are pretty big now, show as just young plants on Google

Has anyone tried Microsoft's take on this, Virtual Earth? It's in Beta and when I first tried it, it was amazing. You can go into 3d and a bird's eye view which gives you north, south, east and west views which were much more up to date that the general view or Google Earth.

Unfortunately it seems to have become a bit unstable lately and crashes everytime I open it.

strange dave cos my drive was extended about 6 months ago and its showing it on there now!
My parents are in Dorchester must see if they are clear. London also seem s clearer my old house in Upper Norwood is looking somewhat "overgrown"

Has anyone else added pics to panoramio ? These appear on GoogleEarth.

Panoramio is available as a layer in the app under "primary database->Geographic web->panoramio"

Also check out the links on the site to KMLs as I think these may be more feature rich than the layer.

You can also Geotag you youtube movies, for anyone with slide shows or AVs. I had trouble tagging it at first but I found I had to add a date too. I was not sure of the date so I just made it up. (It was actually a movie but I have seen a few good AVs and slide shows posted on you tube.)

Ye i did mine. I posted here about panoramio and the response was a bit underwhelming...

Verdant Vista Photo Gallery - Geo-Locate
