Why has Google Earth and Maps reverted to much older images than were previously available?

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.

How often are the Google Maps satellite images updated?

Q. We've done quite a bit of renovations on our little farm and I'm curious when we'll get to see a change in the satellite view on Google Maps or Google Earth.

A. Google purchases the images from many different sources. Most of the images are purchased second hand - basically the images are not taken for the sole purpose of supplying them to Google. Most of the images are taken for completely different reasons and released to the public or sold to Google for extra profit.

Suggestion - your local government agency (county or city) should have a Geographic Information Sytems (GIS) department or division. They could be a great source of aerial photography.

I work for my local GIS division and we have images at 6" resolution taken in spring of 2008, 2007, 2006, 2003, 2001, and 1997.

Check with your local government - they will be the best source for updated imagery.

Is there any flight simulator that does have Google Earth map as terrain?

Q. Is any flight simulator out there that has Google Earth maps as terrain (streaming) or allows it through mods or plug-ins?

PS: Yes, i know that GE does have a "flight simulator" but i mean more serious ones like MS FS or x-plane.

A. As Google Earth has its own flight simulator, it will not supply its maps to an existing flight simulator franchise such as Microsoft, at least its very doubtful. There are certain companies using the flight simulator add-on within Google earth to provide a flight simulator feel, such as http://www.ge-flightsimulator.com/

How do I add a PDF or a photo to a place mark description in GOOGLE EARTH?

Q. How do I add a photo or PDF file to a google earth place mark so that it comes up in the description when you click on the placemark point on the map in Google Earth.

A. You can't actually force Google to show a pdf or photo for a particular place mark. What you can do, however, is make sure that your PDF and/or photo are properly geo-tagged, tagged or linked to (the link should mention the place mark in some way). Then, just give Google enough time to troll your site and if the files/photos have enough views/links to them from other locations Google will rate them higher and potentially show your images when someone clicks on that place mark.

Example: In Google Earth do a search for Norton, Ohio. Once everything loads up, click on the red place name. In the pop-up window you'll see several photos. The one of the lightning is mine (so are a couple of others but that one ALWAYS shows up). The only place where I have uploaded and geo-tagged this photo is in Panoramio.

Is there any software like yahoo map or google earth?

Q. I dont have internet in my house. I browse in browsing centers. So I need a software in which i can browse the world like in yahoo map or google earth without internet connection after the download of that software. If not software is there any way in doing this.

A. *If an Internet connection becomes unavailable, Google Earth shows you whatever imagery is in its cache. While online, however, you can effectively save imagery on your computer for offline viewing later. This works best when you increase the cache size and then browse a particular geographic area before you take the computer offline.

How does google earth/maps get pictures of so many places on street level?

Q. I like checking out google earth and maps from time to time and find it interesting, but I wonder how do they get so many pictures of so many places on street level etc?

A. They have a car with cameras mounted on top that produce images that when spliced together form 360 degree views of the street or highway they are driving on. They have been doing this for a couple years now. I believe the project is incomplete at this time. I agree it's very interesting, you can visit many cities and towns in many parts of the country and some outlying areas too. It's also helpful when planning a trip even just across town, to know where to turn and exit, to see and recognize physical landmarks, etc.
