If you haven't fired up Google Earth today, I suggest you do. There's been a truly massive data update. A lot of new data in Asia, Australia, across the Pacific (many islands) and Africa.

Check out the snowy mountains south of Petropavlovsk-Kamchatky

WOW!

I wonder how often Google updates these pages that show the extent of their coverage?

It would be nice to have a current "hotsheet" outlining the dates/resolution of their coverage.

Matthew,

Not very often by the looks of it.

Some highlights of the added coverage:

alang.jpg 180K 103 downloads]

Wave patterns at Panama, sand-dunes in the Sahara, shipbreaking at Alang and the artificial islands in Dubai...
