Penticton: Google Earth Images Outdated

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?
