Thought this was pretty cool...
I was just on the Weather Channel (which uses MS Virtual Earth for its maps) and zoomed in on a satellite image of my house. I always assumed the data would be the same or similar to what was on Google Maps, but just noticed my neighbors yard has their new pool in the picture... Which they just put in last summer. So, since the scene looks to be from early fall due to the leaves, the Microsoft image is somewhere between 2 and 14 months old, and the image currently on Google Maps is at least 4 years old, since it was taken before I bought the house.
Do you have the same image at http://maps.live.com/ as at http://maps.google.com/ ? If not, which is newer? |
