Google gets closer to earth
Time to get virtually closer to a few more pieces to the Earth's landscape. Google Earth, which will be followed by Google Maps, has updated imagery in the US, Latin America, Africa, India, China, Australia and New Zealand. Google isn't saying exactly where to find the updates, which hit 130 countries. So if you think it is going to be easy to find the new imagery, think again. You are going to have to work a little. Google has put together a list of 11 clues as to where the updates are. Here is one to get you off and running on your Google Earth trip:

It would be nice if they updated near my house! According to Google Earth, there is a car that has been turning off the street right next to my house for over 5 years now! It's creepy! I'm also worried I may hit them one time while backing out of my driveway. Come on Google Earth, make that car go away!

They updated in my area, images are from I'd say June now from what I can see of the construction in the area. Nice, no longer looks like a bunch of empty fields.
