***How often does Google update its Maps? Maps are updated as soon as we get new data from our providers. In the US, those providers are NAVTEQ and TeleAtlas, mainly. The providers vary from country to country, and you can tell who the providers are by looking in the bottom right-hand corner of your map screen, just to the left of that little zoom map. Our satellite imagery is mostly from 1 year to 3 years in age. Some of our imagery is newer, and some is older. We can't update the pictures for your location, and they're definitely not real time. ie: if you go outside and wave your arms, you won't be able to see yourself on Google Maps. =)

Can I also make a feature request so that the satellite images are live Actually, if it's cloudy, we need drone planes.

If you can arm the drone with Hellfire missiles to deal with annoying hills that I am too soft to run up, I'll even donate via PayPal.
I'm running somewhere tomorrow. It's going to be beautiful. I can't wait.

Google doesn't have imagery down very low/close for our area and the USGS images are VERY old...often wondered if the age of the images has a lot to do with the population density. Seems that more urban areas have very recent images.
On your deathbed, you won't wish that you'd spent more time at the office. But you will wish that you'd spent more time running. Because if you had, you wouldn't be on your deathbed.
Definitely a function of population density -- they figure no one wants to look at satellite images of B.F.E.
