hai my name is syed,when ever i see google earth i see all old pictures of my land and my area.so,plz.. update the images of google earth.thanks

Its over 10 years old in most regional places in Australia. I know this because of structures that have been around for at least 10 years are under construction in my town and my parents place still has old owners.

I am sorry to say Whats is subject. ...!!

I am from India, and i have been exploring google earth past many years and observed that they do not have atleast 3 years back snaps ,
Its has very old databases , only the metro cities of the country are updated regularly , google earth shows my city's ( where i live in ) past 4 or 5 year old snaps , why is it ?? Only develped country's database are regularly updated ..........

Cirque Du Soleil is in town, therefore is their unmistakable tent. If you look on Google Earth in Denver, there is no tent (which would be placed adjacent to the Pepsi Center.) which has been here for more than two weeks.

Google Earth is free, it's awesome and I love it. Who cares if it's real time, are you spying on people or something? I am intrigued by all the cool facts, the ability to plan a trip and find an out of the way restaurant, the pics that people upload and everything else you won't find on a Rand McNally atlas. I planned the entire route for our motorcycle trip to Alaska last year without using a paper map. I love the fact that I can use the GPS coordinates to plan an off road trip for hundreds of miles on dirt roads that you wont even find on a Forest Service map. Google Earth is an awesome resource and it's free.

P.S. did I mention that it's still FREE!!!

To those complaining about how "not fast enough" Google is updating its database, don't forget that:

1- it's free! Take it or leave it! They've updated my parent's house twice in the past 5 years, and the picture of my house is 2 years old (well, there was no house back then but my neighbours' was built).

2- Don't forget, you need the satellite to have a very clear picture, that means no clouds on your specific spot, and on a bright and sunny day.

3- If, like the article said, the company taking the picture won't release them to Google and others, what can Google do? Not much except waiting.

4- GoogleEarth is more like a cool feature, a toy, not a professional application. If you have needs that require an always up-to-date picture, you can always start paying. I'm sure that no matter how rich Google is, they can't afford to buy pictures every year for the entire planet!

5- Many parts of the world are not yet covered by high definitions pictures. Adding a city instead of updating one makes more business sense for Google.

Images are of Nov 2006. How can I see latest images. If not atleast 6 months old. Please do keep updating.

What's the point of all this sophisticated technology and all the hoopla surrounding it when the images are a few years old, and of no use to the general public?? I would have liked to be able to monitor my investment property, for example, by logging on to GE.
How about making GE more functional, Larry and Serge???

I viewed GE several a couple years ago....there was my property...so cool!  I had a big building constructed recently, and one day I  went on GE and saw it!  It was very nice to see updated pics!  So, I go on GE now, and the OLD IMAGE is back....new building is NOT there!  WTF??  Any ideas?

These satellite images couldn't possibly be in real time.  The amount of bandwidth and equipment needed to pull something like that off would cost astronomical amounts of money at this point in time!  There are only a handful of satellites taking pictures at any given moment in time at any given place on earth.  And the process is pretty slow, in fact, there are many many places that still don't have high resolution imagery due to the fact that only so many pictures can be taken in a short amount of time.  In the future something like that will be possible, but probably not the near future.
