Love the Megaflyover and NG layers! Great improvement.

Still no SouthEast Melbourne, Australia

The second biggest city in the country, over 3million people, and the demographic centre is still in low resolution

I hope they update that soon!

neilcreek, i gotta agree with u there, i live in north victoria and quality is very nice and hi-res i think that may have to do with the fact of the airport and there for the whole north has been done for hi-res but i am sure the day will come that all citys in the world will be hi-res

Nazz · 09-19-2005, 07:06 AM

And Darwin is now high res too!

Unfortunatly, Quito Ecuador is NOT completely in high resolution...
A low-resolutional stripe straight through the middle of the city is very upsetting for me, as I have family living in Ecuador and have been to quito myself a couple of times.

I can now see my house now thanks to the mayflower update!

georg · 09-20-2005, 06:36 PM

Most of the updated cities are in low res.
I hope that they will update Dubai.

jericho.one · 09-21-2005, 02:14 PM

As long as Cologne/Germany is not in hi-res it's not a major update ;-)

ruidoblanco · 09-22-2005, 12:11 AM

FINALLY Caracas, venezuela is in hi-res

but one part of Caracas (where the rich people lives, stills in very low resolution"

Ted-m · 09-22-2005, 02:06 PM

M. Bernardo · 09-23-2005, 05:15 PM

Excelent! But I only can see the Megaflyovers from Africa. What about the other continents?

Walter Davok · 09-25-2005, 05:39 PM
