"Of course, if these morons had checked, the Google Earth photos of any decent resolution (to show cars and such) are taken by AIRPLANES, not by satellites."

Really, I did not know that. Put me in the moron catagory. I was curious how often images contained on Google Earth are updated. Do you have any idea?

I'm not sure, but the house next to mine that was built 3 years ago isn't shown on Google Earth. The lot has been cleared, but it sat empty for 5 months while the permitting process ground on ( The developer cut down a bunch of trees without proper paperwork ).

So, the shot of my immediate area is at least 3 years, but less than 4 years old.
