How come some areas are clear and some are extremely blury? example, I live in Brownsville, Texas, half the city is clear, half is blury. And do you know how often it is updated, i tried to look at my gun range, but its not even built yet and its not that new. |
True, but most (or many) modern non-IC satellites have adaptive optics to compensate for atmospheric distortion. |

World wide, target areas and intelligence interest areas along with commercial areas are in better resolution. If nobody, who spends the bux, cares about it then it will be in low res. Take a look at Ellington AFB tween Houston and Galvaston. Two single seaters are taking off or landing. Take a look at NASA near Clear Lake, the Saturn 5 on the lawn is clearly visible. Places where the former red rats keep their boomers are in high res. The pic widths seem to be about 10 statute miles. |
As far as I know, none of the pictures on Google Earth are products from a national asset belonging to the NRO, etc. |

In addition to Google Earth try: local.live.com The surface may be viewed as a map or image and "birds eye view" for greater resolution (not available for all areas) |
