Some parts of Austria also received better coverage: The areas south of vienna and near the Czech border are now in higher (but still relatively poor) resolution.
i happen to enjoy that “polaroid taken from cessna” look… the only way to enjoy east texas.
Bristol, Evesham, Worcester (England) all updated to 2007 imagery.
Much (if not all) of the San Diego county area of California has been updated to February 2008 imagery.
Don’t recall how much of Naples was covered, but here’s a typical traffic situation
