Have you seen it? Got Sunderland and Newcastle in okish detail, but how comes it's got Hartlepool and Redcar down to street level detail?

Bob, can you see your house?

Do you mean some of its fuzzy, and some of its clear? that being the case, my son tells me itz coz not all of it is actually covered by the satelite, and they sort of put it in somehow...... does that make sense.

Good though isnt it?

It missed my house by about 1/2 mile. I'm still residing in the fuzzy. The update from fuzzy to clear of the Redcar area occurred about a month ago but the image is easily 2 years out of date.

Its very usefull along with maps.google.co.uk as well.
The fuzzy are sat images the nice ones are from an airplane. Hence the limited coverage.

Sometimes it only allows low res. This appears to correspond to the American daytime use. Try it in the morning and it should work OK
