hey
Didn't anyone notice? In the last google eaarth databse update 10+ cities have been added to high resolution.!! Which means if live in one of those cities you have a great time!!.
Also I notice my Home in Delhi has got an even higher resolution!! and generally the images are brighter and definitely newer!!
Don't waste your time open GE right Now and Njoy! :D

Cities upgraded: chandigarh, bhopal, Indore, Ahmedabad, vadodara, near surat, near nashik, Bhavnagar, a bit of kolkata, and many patches in gujarat.
There are more, I haven't seen all. Anyways if your city is not in high-res don't worry, coz even gorakhpur is has got high-res!

Man I need to buy a huge harddisk/ faster internet connection now :)

EDIT: Another significant change is that the global resolution i.e images for the whole planet are now improved to 15metres per pixel. Earlier it was 1Km/pixel. Which means even if your city is not in high-res you can still see buildings and all.

I guess you have to buy better video card, RAM and internet connection for this, rather than hard disk!

yup definitely a faster internet connection, but Ge works fine with my PIII, 8mb Integrated video, 256Ram. Though adding more wouldn't hurt.

Don't worry Indyan, its only a matter of time. Besides 15/pixel ain't that bad, atleast compared to 1km/pixel.
