The problem with the photos is that they're outdated by (probably) 4 years or more. My neighbor's house shows an above ground pool, which they discarded the minute they moved in about 4 years ago.
Nevertheless, it certainly will be good/fun for we travelers.

all depends
yeah, it all depends. Keyhole gets the data from the MAN, and contrary to what we might think the MAN doesn't like new photos of most metro areas. So, I think you will find strange gaps in coverage newness, depending on where the metro area is. I have been trying to place the date on the NYC satellite pictures, it certainly is post 911, but not much
anyone else got a link at all please ?
