Google gets more high-res sat imagery
Finally my house is available at the max zoom level
That's not actually my house, since Google just selects the middle of the street for any address on that street.
While it's nice that they finally got high-res imagery of the west island, I'm sort of pissed off that it's winter imagery. It really doesn't look very good, and because it's now high res, I would imagine that they probably won't do any better.
This imagery was added in during Googles recent addition of worldwide high-res imagery (for the most part, there are still bits missing). Looks like the west island got the short end of the stick and was grouped in with the rest of the world. Too bad, the rest of the island of Montreal looks nice.
