Today Google will release Google Earth 4.3 that includes some new interesting features:
1. You can now find the exact date when a particular satellite image was captured – move the cursor over the image and the date (when that image was taken) will appear near the status bar of Google Earth.
2. Google Maps street view pictures will become available inside Google Earth 4.3.
More on the upcoming features in Google Earth 4.3 release from Stefan Geens and Frank Taylor. The links to download Google Earth 4.3 aren’t live yet but should be up sometime later today.

I also noticed that Google maps are supporting charities with a free version on Google maps Pro, but I work for a charity also and not sure the exact benefits that a charity can have from this. Sure an international charity can have some benefits, what about the small player.

thats a lie. i just rolled over the pic for 6121 sunset in los angeles and it says oct 7th 2007. at that time, MTVs The Real World Hollywood was taping and the backyard was full pretentious overpriced furnishings and equipment, it even had a mini football field you can see from a helicopter.
in this pic, there’s 2 industrial dumpsters full of garbage.
really google earth?

Not true, they got pictures from GEODIS Brno (Polish-Czech border, southwest Poland) and the date says 2004, which is nonsense, these pictures were taken between June and July 2006, judging on progress of my yard arrangement :) The false date might be a remnant of previous, much worse quality picture, though. BTW the origin of these pictures is 2008 GEODIS Brno, ha, ha, ha.
