We have been looking at the new UK images in the office, and have come to the conclusion they suck.
Yes the very few areas that were missing high res are now present, but other areas have changed from about 2 years, to 5 years old. Masvie areas of housing and development are now gone.
I was delighted to see that the new update included my local area in England. In a quiet moment I tried to work out when the photos had been taken. I was surprised to find out that they were about four years old. Is that normal? OK geologically the land isn't changing much but round here new estates go up quicker than that.
The mentioned update in Manila, Philippines is not quite accurate. The updated area is actually in the provinces south of Manila. The metropolitan area of Manila itself still shows the Digital Globe CitySphere mosaic image taken in 2004.
Hi, It is Bogotá, Colombia; not Columbia. And yes, the image was updated when zoom in, pretty cool!
