It's based on the availability of data from DigitalGlobe and whether the company has tasked the satellite to take pictures of that location. I'm sure if you paid to task the satellite to photograph Flint MI they'd be happy to task their satellite for a fee. And as a result through Google's exclusivity you would start seeing better resolution there.
It's also possible they did task the satellite but the imagery had too much cloud cover. Conspiracies are fun though. Jeremy -----Original Message----- Still all kidding aside, I would like to know how Google decides what imagery to obtain and what imagery to leave out. Was there some sort of return-on-investment analysis that decided it was more important to provide certain cities with imagery versus others? Who knows, maybe they really do have something against people from Flint and/or Connecticut ;-) _______________________________________________ Geowanking mailing list [email protected] http://lists.burri.to/mailman/listinfo/geowanking
