google map updates

The Google maps, Google earth and Mapquest pics of my place are all the exact same pic..

For the aerial photos, they mostly all buy the data from the same people. Bing has the "birds eye" view data set that is unique to them. Google has the "Street View" data. Not sure what sets Mapquest apart.

For pictures of my house:

Mapquest - decent quality overhead, at least 2 years old, medium zoom level. "360-view" is not available in my area. Mapquest also seems to be the slowest to update when panning the maps. Couldn't get "360-view" to load even in an area that indicated availability.

Google - better quality overhead, with high zoom level, at most 1 year old. Google street view is available from one of the roads along my property, but since the house isn't visible from the road, so it is hard to date.

Bing - poor quality image, very low zoom level, at least 4 years old. "Birds-eye" view not directly available. Had to pan in from a few miles down the road, and only south, west and east views available, all at least 4 years old.
