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 Google Latlong Blog has posted an announcement of new terrain and imagery in Google Earth and Google Maps.
Rather than the usual list of what’s new, the team have provided clues to various locations around the globe for you to explore yourself. But, if you’re feeling lazy, then the Digital Earth Blog have also posted all the answers.
So, get suggesting those sights!

The weirdest and best of Google Earth is now available in the…
When i search for updates in Google Earth, he tells me there is a new version, i download/install it but it’s still the same i had already and when i search again for updates in Google Earth, he tells me again there is a new version..etc..etc… !
@Krazitchek: You don’t need to update your Google Earth application to get the new imagery, all you have to do is restart the program.
Disappointing Italy - I’d call that medium res, not high res.
Well, speaking about Italy, at least now my house is hi-res and my favourite mountains (the Dolomites) are medium-res… until friday it was all low-res, so better something than nothing
Wheee! My house is finally not a smudgy type blur. Hi-res imagery finally albeit a few years out of date.
Yay, Banks Peninsula in New Zealand is high res with terrain as are the Southern Alps!
In Ireland, the Boyne Valley from Drogheda to Navan got a DG update. And in NI the NE tip at Cushendun got updated, its a pity about 70% is open sea.
at last - after so many years of being low res -
where i live - Basingstoke - is now hi res!!
thank you google.
now i can really start using using “my maps” and panoramio
