You're right, was also my first guess. Then I looked at the image from Lat Long and looked at the wrong question.

Argentina - large areas of medium resolution Spot Image imagery.

Poland - Auschwitz in high res.

Germany - Around Hannover (north and south), "harz" mountains, areas around Hamburg, villages east of Itzehoe, South of Cuxhaven, near Bremen (NW), Cloppenburg and "more".

Chile - Santiago (can't confirm this one).

France - many areas in northern France (Cherbourg, Cholet, Lavel, Chaumont, and Pau, Clermont-Ferrand, Figeac).

USA - Ugly green is back in Arizona for Mount Hopkins/Mount Wrightson.

Lug2k · 09-23-2009, 05:38 PM

Saudi Arabia - 100% now

Munden · 09-23-2009, 11:55 PM

USA:
A portion of southern Montgomery County, Maryland (right up the DC border)

South Korea:
Ulsan was updated AGAIN (3rd time in a row I think)

Munden · 09-24-2009, 12:32 AM

USA:
Marion County, FL
Duval County, FL (including Jacksonville)
Part of Taylor County, FL
Port Charlotte, FL
Miami and Fort Lauderdale

For all of those updates in Florida, they're very patchy.

Sevastopol, Ukraine
Diavik Diamond Mine (Canada)

(edit: I'll just keep adding stuff)

Munden · 10-20-2009, 09:24 PM

NEW UPDATE: They've done an image update. So far I have found:

USA:
Galveston and those Texan islands are now post-storm, showing many blank areas where houses used to be. The update actually basically covers the entire Texas coast.

UK: Blackburn
UK: Eastbourne, etc. The update runs along the coast from roughly Rookery Hill over to Camber.
(my mistake about Liverpool and Manchester was thanks to the time-slider)
UK: Southern Wiltshire, including areas such as Salisbury and Stonehenge.

India: Mumbai (edit #1)

sladys · 10-20-2009, 09:57 PM

Poland and Japan is also updated

Lug2k · 10-21-2009, 12:57 PM

Poland and Noth-Africa too ;D

Most of the new GeoEye images look way overexposed.
The guys are still practicing, i suppose ; )

Munden · 11-03-2009, 11:06 PM

Well, Google has finally decided that if they're going to release the KML file detailing their imagery updates, that they'll just do it right away. We won't need to go hunting anymore.

And yes, it comes because there was an update today, though not a terribly large one.

I noticed there is a new Layer of Szczecin (Poland) from 20. Sep. 2009!
Even some parts of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern and Brandneburg (germany) are affected.
