New Google Earth Imagery - July 4


It's been a few weeks since the last update, and now Google has just started pushing out their latest imagery update. Thanks to GEB reader 'Alsay' for being the first to let us know about it!

As is often the case, you can use Google Maps to determine for sure whether or not a specific area is fresh. This new imagery isn't in Google Maps yet, so you can compare Earth vs. Maps to see what's new; the fresh imagery is already in Google Earth, but the old imagery is still in Google Maps. If you compare the two side-by-side and they're not identical, that means that you've found a freshly updated area in Google Earth!
