I think if you google for Google Earth updates and read the ensuing comments that they seem not to update very often and when they do the results are variable and sometimes disappointing. Regards John ----- Original Message Follows -----

I know the images the google currently has suck, and ironically, farmland only a casual walk from my place are clear as, but has anyone got any ideas, or can give HCC a prod ?

Presumably, Google has some streamlined method of getting photographs into the database, and will have a series of licences with their suppliers to cover copyright issues. I've got my doubts as to the practicality of an "ad hoc" update.

Perhaps Google should be asked when it plans to update the photographs of New Zealand and/or Hamilton?
