Most of the google earth images were taken circa late 2001, as a first pass of the UK.
( the half built conservatory in our garden being a huge clue)

They've re-visited some UK cities again, but nothing hugely new.


They updated a ton of the UK maps in detail but its still old detail ( check 'the gate' in Newcastle) which is a building site, but in reality its been open >3 to 4 years

talking of google earth, can anyone find the nurburgring

If i had google earth installed i could find it easily

But the google maps website doesnt have maps of germany only england + USA

Nurburgring is on Google Earth.. it doesnt come up because its a bit of a made up name, Nordscliefe is actually the name of the place you want, here it is..http://20832.com/images/site/Nordschleife_Google_Earth.jpg   If you want a more detailed piccy, pick out a few reference points (towns etc) and go back to Google earth proper
