I take some of it back Brandy, been playing with the rotation tool and at least one view of my house is in the region of 8 months old, but another is definately much older.Looking at the Birds Eye views, I do now also wonder if they are of aircraft origin, rather than from the higher altitude birds probably used for the basic ariel views.

a few months old? Looking at my house I dont even have a driveway there, and the driveway has been built in literally around 8 years... even Tesco Extra isn't built up....Google Earth has recently been updated however if you download it. Think its around a year out of date, as opposed to 15!

Actually, its very strange how its all much more up to date on the 3D than what it is on Aerial 2D

Thats why i say at the start of this thread " zoom in and press the birdseye button"I don't say "go onto Virtual earth and have a look at the 2D version that's roughly 2yrs old" do i??

About 2 years out of date for me, still shows the caravan in the drive. Much grainier than Google earth as well.
