Here in Des Moines metro, our google maps (google earth) seem to be updated almost every year. Â In fact, last year it was updated twice! Â Once about the first of the year and once in May (the current images). Â This is very nice and as somebody involved with development, everyone at our firm uses it almost daily. Â I don't understand why Omaha isn't this way but Des Moines is. Â Can anybody shed some light on this issue? Â I do know this...
Fall 2009/ early 2010 des moines images are the same images as the assessor's pages here. Â The May 2010 images are not and were flown by somebody else. Â City officials and the county assessor have no idea where these images came from....asking a couple of my connections. Â Google must have flown these themselves and unfortunately the quality isn't quit as good as the other google uploads.
Most the years though, when they appear on the assessor's page, within a few months, they are also on Google maps. Â Exact same images. Â Why doesn't Omaha/ douglas county do this too????

Google earth displays the highest quality image that they have for an area. Â For omaha, those are April 2004. Â However, there are images available from Aug 2009. Â You just have to click the clock button in your toolbar and then use the slider to go back in time. Â You can actually see images as far back as 1993, which is interesting.

I noticed that too, but at least it is better than the 2004 images that Google had last time I used it.skinzfan23 wrote:It still appears that these are much more out of date than the Bing maps. When looking at TD Ameritrade Park, the google maps still show it under construction. The Bing maps show both it and Werner Park fully completed.
Bing has 2 levels of photos, "Community View" and "Neighborhood View" Â Community is a higher elevation than the Neighborhood.
The community view is 2011 photos, the Neighborhood view is 2008. Â Get over TD Ameritrade and look ta the stadium. Â then start zooming in. Â once you hit a certain elevation the stadium will disappear and the old parking lot will show up.

The Neighborhood view has the old up 1/2 demolished and they were just building the showroom at the Wallstreet Tower. Â I think that is 2008.skinzfan23 wrote:Brad wrote:I noticed that it did that as well, but I am amazed at how recent their photos are compared to google.

The Community view has "The Yard" under construction so that was this spring.

I sure wish Google Earth had an aerial satellite map of Omaha from the 80's. Â That'd be cool.brick wrote:Google earth displays the highest quality image that they have for an area.

The City/County GIS site http://www.dcgis.org/dogis/ will have that option soon.mrsticka wrote:I sure wish Google Earth had an aerial satellite map of Omaha from the 80's.

Quality is what you expect for 1938...

I would assume its the same as Google Earth which is March, 2012.

Judging from the progress of the new apartment building at 12th and Howard, they appear to be from March of this year.

I seem to be having trouble getting the map to appear onscreen. I can get the Pottawattamie and Sarpy County maps with no problem at all. But Douglas seems to be a no-go.Brad wrote:The City/County GIS site http://www.dcgis.org/dogis/ will have that option soon.mrsticka wrote:I sure wish Google Earth had an aerial satellite map of Omaha from the 80's.

EDIT: It's working now. Â I don't know why it wasn't before, but everything's fine now.

Also if you zoom in far enough with 45° view off, the pictures are pretty recent. I think they were updated around the same time as Google Earth.koberaptor wrote:On http://maps.google.com most of omaha's pictures were taken in 2008, 2009.... anyone wanna update them?
I've seen them. It's pretty cool. They only have 45 degree angle views of Omaha, though. Not Lincoln, unfortunately. I think they should also redo the Street View shots to be in high resolution.HR Paperstacks wrote:Also if you zoom in far enough with 45° view off, the pictures are pretty recent.
