Google Earth

Anybody know how often GE refreshes their aerial views? My new house has been in place a year now and GE for my address still shows the property from well before we ever even broke ground.

I wanna see my house on it!

People on this thread have been reporting updates within the last two years. My farm pic is 5 years old.

My area has been somewhere between 3 and 5 years.

The ability to use satellite photos from different years is really neat, something most people don't know about google earth. Caveat: I haven't used GE recently, don't know if the feature is still there. In my case I couild look at satellite photos dating to 1992 of my place.

Yes, that feature is still in Google Earth. I just used it to look at an area on the coast to see if there was any coastal erosion. The images only went back 20 or so year but I could not see any loss of beach. I could see how a nearby inlet has changed over the years.
