Google offers a new salve of imagery updates for Google Earth and Maps. However, not everyone is happy, from the GEB: "What I've noticed so far doesn't make me too happy. Google for a while now (see New color imagery for Australia December 2008) has been re-colorizing imagery to make the Earth look more consistent from space (instead of all the different colored strips of satellite imagery). This time, I think they've gone too far. The western US has been re-colored and is too dark and too green in some places." The same blog also runs an entry named "Improving Google Earth Base Imagery": "Today, I'd like to make a case that Google is going down the wrong path with their base imagery. Albeit with the best of intentions."
