My Google Map Blog

Google has updated its ‘Monthly Google Earth Imagery Updates’ map to show the May 2015 updates. As always, this does not necessarily mean that the imagery in question was captured in May. For more on what the map shows see our Understanding Google’s Imagery Updates map series of posts.

As we mentioned earlier this week, Google Maps Gallery has removed all maps from Google Maps Engine from the gallery. This includes Google’s various imagery updates maps. However, since they usually use the same map and just update it each month, we already know the URL. In fact, there are two different maps they have used in the past and they updated both of them to show May’s updates. Map 1 Map 2.
