Title: Google satellite picture thingy Post by: genf_stfc on Wednesday, March 1, 2006, 17:12:52 Long shot, but does anyone know if its possible to find out when they actually take the pictures for the Google satellite map thing ?
I only ask, because there is a huge field of untouched snow outside - on the very slim chance that it was in the next hour or so, I reckon with the help of some beer and a few like minded friends I could go out and stamp "ARSE" or something similarly purile in 50 foot high letters in it...

You could get lucky of course. Title: Google satellite picture thingy Post by: Dazzza on Wednesday, March 1, 2006, 18:11:51 http://snipurl.com/mfbb

Our images are photographs taken by satellites and aircraft sometime in the last three years. The images in Google Earth are updated on a rolling basis. Click http://earth.google.com/images_dates.html for more details.

Just had a quick look and you can certainly see things much more clearly now, not as clear as Bedford is though and you can't get in as close without it going blury.
