Just a quickie this, because there’s so much to look at. Google Earth has just had a major data update for the UK.

Places that were already in high resolution have been improved, and many new places added, including lots of South Wales (as far west as Gower, North to Ebbw Vale, South to Cardiff and west to Newport). Bristol is also included, as is a HUGE swathe starting at Liverpool and spreading east. Greater London is now far clearer than before and some sections of the south coast including Portsmouth, Bournemouth, Poole and the Isle of Wight have also benefitted from higher resolution images.

I’ve also noticed massive improvements to Belfast, Glasgow, Newcastle Upon Tyne, and even little old Hebden Bridge and Heptonstall are now in high res.

I think it’s time to revisit my comparison of Aerial Photo’s and Google Earth to see how the images have improved.
