    Um, the "above" image is taken by a satellite in space. The streete view image is taken with a camera mounted to a car driving past. Satellite images have been around for year. Street view was done in Nov/Dec 2007. They aren't syncronised.

    I've seen the Streetview car getting around here. Hopefully they are taking photo's coz they've only done about 1/5 of our city. My bro that works at Holdens said it come in for a service or sumfin the other week.

    Interesting calculation (cos I am bored)... if they did 10,000 kays in a week they would have to be driving at (pretty much) 60km/h all day everyday.

    The ACT photos have been updated VERY recently. From what I can work out they must have taken a new series of photos about 6 months ago.

    Yea, i noticed some parts are new and others are not. I looked at Macgregor West and the stage it is at in the ariel photos was about 6 months ago but at the same time there is nothing in Franklin which has been there for atleast a year.
