Penticton: Google Earth Images Outdated
Posted March 22, 2008 by Rosalind Gardner · Filed Under At Home
After hearing how Nanaimo has been crowned “Google Capital of the World”, I decided to check and see whether the images of Penticton, B.C. had been updated on Google Earth.
Up until recently, the resolution was absolutely terrible, so I was pleased when I zoomed in on Penticton and could see individual houses.
Naturally, I had to zoom in on my own.
Hmmm… weird. What I saw was a picture of the house that was clearly taken prior to the time I bought it in June 2004, as I recognize the previous owner’s white truck sitting in the driveway. Moreover, my pool, which was built in 2005, isn’t shown in the backyard!
OK, that’s not really such a big deal. But what I do take issue with however, is the fact that the image indicates that it is copyright 2008.
Somewhat misleading, don’t ya think?
