It is stupid... the pictures are at least 7 years old in some areas. The neighborhood I live in is about 10 years old and they dont have pictures of most of it... it is just a big forest.

Yeah, it's pretty old. Where I live in San Diego it's still just open space on Google maps/earth.

Holy crap, that's a sweet development, Fiirkan. Are those dirt roads? So many trees, trees make me happy.

LOL no they are all paved roads, it is just a small development, in fact i only know of 1 maybe 2 developments in my provence that are "big" but they would still be small by most american's standards.

I'm not sure, but maybe the paid version uses clearer pictures? Ask your friend if he's using the free one and then you'll know.

Keep in mind that there is google earth, and google earth plus, both are free but the plus is more for people who have highspeed connections. and has better quality pictures
