Google releases KML details of the July Google image update.

For a long time, Google read out only a brief written summary of some of the updates to their base of images of the Earth. Here are their textual details of the current update. But for the first time (after God knows how many human requests for that), Google also released a KML file , in which red areas of new satellite images laid out in July are outlined in red! Now it is possible to determine clearly what proportion of the photo-globus is covered by this update. After four years of close tracking of Google Earth photo updates, I can assure you that this type of image update coverage is probably typical of Google’s monthly updates.



I hope that now everyone will have a chance to appreciate the gift of data that Google gives us all with these amazing photo updates. You can also feel better how big our planet is, just looking around the proportion of its renewed areas. Hopefully, Google will continue to post its updates in KML files, like the current one!

By the way, readers of Google Earth Blog over the weekend found many areas of this update. Read the details , we are open, and some errors found in individual changes.

Transcriber postscript: the word “update” (“update”) and its derivatives were repeated more than a dozen times in the original source. I decided to carefully preserve this feature in the translation, although in general it is a bit tedious.
