I can understand how difficult it's going to be processing the Sydney CBD since everything is clumped up together, but indeed, the images are quite outdated. The new satellite view appears in the Eastern Suburbs, and to my memory, seems to have recently moved across the Pacific Highway to North Sydney. That isn't to say that the team isn't actively working on updating these images. Note there is a stark difference between certain areas. In the animation above, cities like Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide, Perth, Canberra and Newcastle have vivid, beautiful satellite maps with comprehensive 3D photogrammetry models, whereas Sydney is seriously falling behind.Ĭaption: Sydney's current satellite view images and the current coverage of the new view. Meanwhile, other major cities in Australia enjoy metropolitan-wide 3D coverage with updated satellite views and model rendering. Late late year, there was a complaint about how satellite images were outdated in the suburb of Marsden Park, NSW and even though there was feedback given we've still yet to receive an update on the satellite views for the region.Ĭaption: A frame comparison animation of five of Australia's biggest cities. Unfortunately, as I primarily like to use Google Maps for almost everything, it's actually really disappointing to see that the majority of the Sydney region still use satellite images from early 2016. Applications such as Nearmap and HERE Maps are great tools to use for the most-current satellite images for these areas. In my work, I generally need to use up-to-date satellite imagery to keep up with what's happening in major infrastructure projects throughout the region.
