Learn something new every day.

Also Rod Donald from the Greens use to be present at all the protests before he died.

Yes, it really bums me out that we seem to get a raw deal down here with things like this. Almost like they don't know New Zealand really does exist.......

The map in Marlborough is about 2 years out of date. I doesn’t have a new River park along the Tayler River in Blenheim.
I have noticed some updating in Australia. The City centre in Melbourne has changed since I first installed Google Earth.
Here is one of Mars:

I think they like parts to be blatantly out of date to avoid the accusations of spying. It wouldn't surprise me if they held images until they were "stale" before releasing them to Google Earth.

Anybody found anything interesting recently? I was looking at Paris a few days back, the detail in places like that and the UK...... why can't they improve on New Zealand .....why are we not considered as part of this Earth I wonder? or do I have it wrong.... Do we need to complain do you think..........

Yes it would be good to see other parts of NZ from Marlborough.

[Kez81]

It would be good if they did put a bit more of NZ on there i am sure people all round the world would love to see how green we really are and how small our cities are compared to well every where else.
If someone is willing to say something on behalf of all NZders then feel free cause i would sure be happy to be able to find my house on there.

[Rodster]

Have a look now. There has been an update.

[Enigmatic1]

Will have to go check it out again, been a while since I've last looked.

[Kez81]
