Google Sightseeing takes you on tour of the world as seen from satellite, using the free Google Earth program, or Google Maps in your web browser. Each weekday your guides James and Alex present new weird and wonderful sights as suggested by readers.
The recently announced Google Maps imagery updates are now online!
These new images once again bring Google Maps up to date with the images available in Google Earth, where the new imagery was added a couple of weeks ago. The Google Earth Blog has some details of what was added.
So, get submitting those new sights!

They have added some new strips of satellile images to England, including one that goes right from the south coast to Manchester, and just happens to go through Stonehenge! In the meantime, they have added aerial photos of Lancashire. And I noticed Tyne & Wear is also covered.
Can someone with Google Earth tell me: are these aerial photos (as opposed to satellie images) included with Google Earth?
Today I noticed much of Europe is now covered by road maps, so it should be much easier to find things!
Yeah, me too- did they just add that? It’s incredible! I wonder how long they’ve been working on it, eh?
