Q. Up until recently, the images used by Google earth and maps were between 12 and 18 months old. However recently I've noticed that the maps have aged significantly. For example, my house that was built in 2000 now shows an empty field although the road overlay showing the street is still there.
A. Google has to use satelite photos from outside sources. If Google's license to use that image ran out, they may have to use older images they have on file. Also, GE uses higher resolution images over more recent images. If one area has high res, they will use it, regardless of the date. You're not alone, however, many people (including me) have old images which don't show half the things they should.
Which is/are the difference between Google Maps and Google Earth Maps?
Q. And which is better to use if you want to find something?
P.S:The only thing i know is google earth maps is 3D and google maps is not.

A. I'm pretty sure that Google Earth is more of a fun (and slightly helpful) tool than anything else. People use it to look around the world, get glimpses of what terrain is like before they go hiking, etc. Google Maps is merely there to help you get from Point A to Point B. The maps aren't necessarily designed to give you a pretty picture, they're just to help you navigate.
How do I get street view on Google Earth?
Q. My friend has it, NOT GOOGLE MAPS. Google Earth, and it isnt working for me. What do I have to download in order for it to work?
A. Go to: http://maps.google.com/ and type your address in the search bar. When the map comes up click on Street View. If Google has photoed that street you'll get the image and be able to navigate up and down the street.
